Default Strut brace differences/benefits

Hi folks, what's the benefit of an adjustable strut brace? I've seen some on ebay which are fixed but which would i be better off getting?

You wouldn't feel much difference until you were reaching track day speeds.

Unless you drove like Big E on the roads it would feel the same

Oi I'm not sure I like that.

Just because I over took you at the Ring.


The on ebay looks fine,

Not sure why you would need an adjustable one though, providing its a good fit in the first place no adjustment is necessary.

if the cars off the ground and you undo the nuts your suspension will end up on the floor, just open bonnet and remove nuts and all will be good,
