Default C70 front subframe brace

Hi folks,

I am looking for the lower subframe brace from a c70 to retrofit to an 850 - I’ve heard it helps a little so want to get one to try. I know that the Bush inserts are often a better solution but want to see for myself. Ideally looking for all the bits that go with, I understand the subframe bolts are longer.

Ideally posted noting lockdown and tiers etc, but prepared to collect if it’s Midlands ish when lockdown lifts.

Thanks

Jon

Which one The horseshoe shaped U-brace that joins the rear of the subframe to the exhuast middle bracket, or the two right angled braces joining front and rear parts of the subframe.

It’s the horse shoe U shaped one behind the subframe (the first one you described), ideally with all the bolts for it.

Thanks!
