We’ve now developed and produced a prototype of 3 point strut brace for Gen 6 Celica. It consists of non-adjustable cross bar and adjustable side-to-center rods. These expand creating “stiffness” and then are fixed with 22mm nuts. I've fitted and tested it yesterday and I'm over the moon with the results Much less flex in the front and more controlled cornering





The prototype (pictured above) came out well but still in need for few corrections. Once these are sorted, we’ll start production.

Facts:

Weight = 3.05kg (including all fixings)
Adjustable side-to-center rods
3mm steel top mount plates and center bracket
Side-to-center rods D = 22mm
Cross bar thickness: 20mm x 40mm
Cross bar and side-to-center rods made of AL6063 or AL5052 aluminium (need to clarify which one)
Top mount plates & center bracket colour: gunmetal
Cross bar and side-to-center rods will be polished

Price:
RRP is POA but will be way under £200 mark (still with 10% discount for 6G members)
Shipping and handling fee for UK and Ireland is £20


Now there’s few more pics:





The cross bar was designed to be aligned as with centers of shock absorbers.


Oval shaped holes will be reduced to exact size; angle of brackets for fixing side-to-center rods will be improved; center bracket depth will be reduced.


Adjustable side-to-center rods have ball joints on center bracket ends.




Remember price is still yet to be announced however because people have asked for an estimate, I would say it'll be £200 MAX no more. However based on the currentimporting conditions, it is most likely to be less then thatso please dont be discouraged.
RT-P's products are not designed to be cheap. We are to be competitive and to fabricate our products to a very high level of standards in terms of performance and finish.
At the moment, based of the specs and modifications, this is the one of the best strut braces you'll find.
