Seeing as I got the pov pack 380, Some other models get a Strut Brace. Not me,
I saw Knotched's under bonnet setup and a I felt a small twang of jealousy.
I want one of those, so I rang Mits at Mnt Gravatt and since I had the brackets already fitted, the Brace cost was a mind staggering $26.50.......Yup.:D
I got it today, but There were no nuts in the bag, (ripped off) I will have to wait to get to the bolt store and get some.

Is there any anything to know about bolting them on. Torque settings, car jacked, or something else, Thx in advance.

I also priced the black lights set, at $260.00 apiece, I wont get em.:upyours:

This could potentially limit your offspring making capabilities. :bowrofl:

But serously, leave the car on the ground, tighten them up really tight, but not so tight as to dent the metal under the nuts.

Is it possible to paint them? I know they are reflective so maybe not..:doubt:

Are you going to buy my wheels, or are you going to stick with your screamers :P ?

Talk about peer pressure, screamers lol
The lower side wall height would be an advantage.
Still thinkin, I've got 2 split system A/C's and installation to pay for yet.

Painted the brace up, all nice and silver, fitted, grand total $28.00 not inc paint I had lying around.
