can anyone recommend a nicely priced stut bar front/rear

 

http://www.ebay.com has a lot listed but they are all very very cheap, cheap usually indicates poor quality.

 

I'm not so fussed about looks, i'm more interested in performance for a reasonable price :)

Hi Mike,

 

I can get you a front/rear package (3-piece design) for around £135. I would post a pic but haven't got it to hand as I'm currently not in the office. They are of similar desing to some of the e-bay ones but these are made in Japan. They have base fixing plates (black powder coated) made from 4mm steel and polished aluminium (oval shaped) bars (with adjustable ends to allow precise fitment). I have recently sold a pair and have been very impressed with the quality. I've also just placed an order for my own car while I wait for info on the Carbing struts. I'll try to post a pic later tonight. The price is a guide price only as it varies with the exhange rate but should fall within £10 either side of the above. To fit the front bar you'll have to remove a patch of the heatshield measuring approximately 5cm x 7cm - 2 minute job!

 

For future reference, I'm trying to get a mold made up for a one piece carbon fiber strut brace. This product is still some months off but should be lighter and stronger than all currently available strut braces. No price indications as of yet.

 

Cheers!

Danny, do you have a price just for the front?

Steve - they are sold to me as a SET mate. Let me get back to you on that one later tonight when I'm back in the office with the actual figures in front of me.

 

Cheers!

Hello Mike,

 

 

I bought my strut braces from US eBay from a company called F1 Motorsports, the quality isn't bad, the front brace is not as good as the rear.

They cost $124 shipped. Can't really complain, but i wish the front looked nicer.

 

Rich :)

My F1 front one looks wicked - i love it anyway

Ok then, have done some research and the supplier will only sell them to me in pairs, ie front and rear together. So ideally I would like to sell them as a pair but if there is a firm agreement on a split then I'd be happy with that. Since I can only get them as a pair I suggest the cost for the front & rear is split down the middle. Ie, £135 for the pair, £67.50 each for the front and rear. Postage will be added (likely to be under a tenner) as will a surcharge for Paypal payments (4%). That should bring it to "around" the £75 per brace if you pay by Paypal.

 

My digicam has packed up and I haven't got a good pic of the braces at the moment. I will look for it on the web and post it when I have found it. Basically, if you look at the ones that F1 sells then you're getting pretty close (if memory serves me). Although I can't judge the quality of the F1's I can say that the ones I get are of very good material quality and look the biz. I will contact the supplier again to verify quantity and availability.

 

Let me know who/how you want to proceed.

 

Cheers!

Does anyone know where you can gat one of the thick, flat braces?

OK - fight it out between the two of you - either way I don't really mind as the total price must equate to £135 ;)

 

Enjoy the fight!

Nah - those rears are far more expensive! Shall we say a 75/25 split (in my favour)! :p

 

Seriously mate, are you happy with a 50/50? If so how shall we sort the payment?
