Could be interested in a Wagon WRX rear strut brace, if it fits without hacking the rear side trim/speaker mountings and retains the roller blind load cover!


See here for pics of my problem with a whiteline one!

Didnt try J spec.

JW was to expensive in the beginning. Guy i tried, his standard prices were cheaper than Cusco. His group buy knocked off a good discount, but still wasnt good enough

I think most people want normaly strut braces which you can buy from Scoobyworld for about £40-£60 instead of paying £100-£150 from Cusco. Even though the strut braces are better! lol

i take it would be cusco and no-one else then? i mean i'm sure there must be another company that make as good as or better strut braces, or am i just confused...again?

personnaly, i would have gone for the whiteline, as i think we all know the australiens know the score, or was it just gonna take a decade to get the stuff shipped

lol.

I look everywhere mate.

Ive looked at Japan and US sites who seem pretty cheap. THing is by the time you add shipping and vat etc on, it doesnt work out to be such a big saving.

Ive got a contact now who could be good

No news this end. Spoke to him late last night and their strut braces are meant to be better than cusco. A lot of people rate them

They just havent developed them for the classics (ie GC8 models) - still in production.

So no news from me

When your man get back, we can post up the prices and see what people think
