Finally, some one has met up with grumbly to get a starion measured up
for a strut brace!! ( And no, it wasn't decoy!! :roll: ) Looks like we convinced him to make up a rear strut brace too!! Test fit in a fortnight, and should have some ready a few weeks after that.
Just thought I would let everybody know, so if anyones interested, they
can drop him a line. :)

Grumbly, just organise yours, no one here is going to organise a group buy with some company to do it because of all the freight and time which equates to costing more than yours so don't worry too much.

I'ld say the rules in the Parts classified also applies to this post so stick to em or else :D

Whiteline would end up charging double what Grumbly will for the end-plates and would charge top dollar on handling for postage, plus the standard 80% industry profit margin on top for the brace itself so I don't see what else there is to compare to. You would only be able to get a cheap quality brace for the price of Grumbly's in the end assuming Grumbly hasn't followed the industry with their 80% margins aswell :P

I would order a set but I've got a Cordia with a nice shiny whiteline bar with red end plates strut brace :D

hmmm...thanks. I make cordia ones too...hehe...with whiteline bar and powdercoated end plates :D

Trial fitting is scheduled for 2 weeks, pics will be available after then. I will also work out costs and then a sale price.
I will be offering a discounted pre-order price to help keep costs down too.

AXELR8, you're braces will be extra cheap, as a thanks for supplying a car.

Grumbly
