A man look is a look where you don't have a proper look and don't see things

According to my other half.

I had a look at the cars just then and the ke11 has a single leaf and the ke10
has two. They both have akebono calipers with 200mm front discs.
I have now seen the bracing between the strut towers and the firewall.

that doesn't look like a poor install.... maybe the different brands are
slightly different? or maybe it has something to do with the length of the link
pins?
