excellent news Dave, glad U liked bars too.



next batch on drawing board, as whiteline now refuse to sell me the bars. This next lot will have a different profile bar, probably rectangular section, but will probably be a little stiffer.

I'm going to "be that guy" and dig up a post from the past.
Just wanted to see how these strut braces turned out for everyone?

Ive noticed after reading a few threads with after market braces that there is allot of problems with them clearing the master cylinder or them rubbing on the bonnet/taking off paint ect.

Would something like this still be on offer? is Mr.Grumbly still around? if they worked really well i would be dead keen on a set. :D

If grumbly isnt making them anymore you can still get the cusco one off the shelf. It clears the brake master, but does rub alittle on the heatsheilding on the bonnet. You will also find that swaybars will improve your handling more than a strut brace will.

Rice does the cusco's rubbing create any noises? or does it just polish the finish on the strut bar?

Hey Grumbly! & thanks i look forward to hearing how you go with it may be worth seeing how many people would be interested in a group order again as well it looks like the last set was received pretty well.
