ok i fitted my strut brace today. before theres a corner (in a police supervised part of town at night that allows racing as its not used (they say its better in there than on the streets which i agree with)) that i was able to take at 65 max without it now i can easily take it at around 85 (its a wide road). now both of these are from turning from the same point (clearly marked) and with only me in the car with no spare in the boot for weight purposes. so it deffinatly does help. also i was doing a 4 wheel drift around a round about and could constantly hold it less than 20 cm from the round about with only using the gas and this round about is less than 3m in diameter and i would allways loose it when attempting this previously so all in all i recomend to get a strut brace it does make an amazing difference plz post on here any other comments or stories

100% correct... now put in some adjustable camber bolts and a heavier front swaybar and a light rear bar and you will do it at 100ks !

The pic to the left is me in a 4 wheel sidways drift at a track meet last month !

I had a huge huge difference with my strut brace.

You wont feel it in a TLGP...

Go out and push your car hard in some twisites.. You will notice a huge difference..

Anyone know where i can a rear and front strut brace for my 1st gen ? My bro got a front one for his VN commie and it made a difference :)

Dont know about the rear strut brace. I think you mainly want a front Strut brace and rear sway bar.

they stuffed mine up too so i sent em an email and they sent me out the part i needed (i didnt' go back through phillcom who i bought it off)

How long ago was this? I got onto Phillcom and they were sorting it out. How long did it take to get your replacement part? Did you need to send one of the other bits back?

k i recieved it last week and it had 2 of the same sides on so i sent em an email and within 2 days it was shiped out to me with a mail bag to send the old part back

:/

I got mine last week as well but no word yet
Bah, might get onto Phillcom again

LOL

so how much are these strunt braces and are they easy to fit yourself

about $175

take off the 3 bolts on your suspension tower and plop this in place.


one of the easiest mods you can do!

i notice a difference aswell, shame i have crap tyres

:bowrofl: That'd be hilarious.

lol yeah I thought about that, but no. Aparently Phillcom recieved 10 strut braces. ALL with 2 passenger side plates.

Big stuff up if you ask me. Only difference is I dont have the replacement bit yet :/

yeah i went through whiteline directly not through phillcom who i purchased it off

Yeah, i sent and email to Whiteline and they sent me one back saying talk to Phillcom....

Lazy asses didnt even apologize.

Bump

Well guys I got my brace fitted today thanks to a mate and his decent set of tools.

And yes, took a 20 minute drive down some windy's and I can definetly notice a difference

Dont think that the problems reflect on philcom guys I bought mine from them and didnt have any problems at all.Top service.And yes it does make a good difference to your handling.
:D
