Courier turned up this morning with another box from Japan. A beautifully crafted C-One strut brace...
 The quality of finish of this is absolute perfection. Comes with all the nuts and bolts required plus a new bracket to re-locate the WAI overflow bottle.    Fitment was straightforward with all the holes lining up exactly. If this doesn't stop the front towers from moving, nothing will  Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

Took the car for a blat this afternoon and the car certainly turns in a lot sharper due to the suspension geometry being kept in check. Less movement between the towers means the struts move in and out less so everything stays as it should and the car handles better as a result. So it's not just pure bling after all

Its funny, I noticed very little when adding my strut brace. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

QUOTE(celicarus @ Mar 9, 2006 - 3:30 PM) [snapback]405248[/snapback] ohhhh - so sexy - how much? Checked out the website. Looks the strut bar is going for about ¥26,276 JPY which at the current exchange is about $220.68 USD. Shipping would be another consideration in the price depending how far away the box would have to travel. --------------------  |

So why does bulletproofauto have it for around $600  I was about to buy the cuscos F&R, but if I can get the C-ONE for under $300 I'll get that
