I'd be up for a rear upper and front lower - provided they fit a MY03 STi

Does this price include shipping??

cut and paste :-

Are these original original sti ones or are they copies which you can get from US?

If they are STI - sound like good buy!

If they are copies, then you can get GT Spec or Cusco ones for these prices.

Just need to know what they are as I can be interested. I was going to buy a load from US as they are CHEAP but then found out they were copies

The front upper looks identical to one I bought off ebay a couple of months ago. It's coming back off as it rattles against the intercooler as the fit is so tight.

Might look for an STI carbon one...

Just had an email from the guy selling these describing the quality compared to genuine STI braces:-


Regarding the quality of these strut braces, I have a genuine sti rear strut brace in stock and compaired the two last night.
The ends on the sti style are LIGHTER than the gen sti, the alloy bar for the sti style is almost IDENTICLE to the genuine STI, the welds are excellent on the sti style no difference or less quality than the genuine sti.

right.
fitted mine

Bit of a PITA what with some ICE stuff in the way of the strut tops, but got it done without too much aggro.
Car seems tighter now.
My front end has upper 2 point and 4 point lower braces, and it always seemed to me like the rear had a little 'scuttle' shake ... could never put my finger on it to be 100% though.
Now that same shake at the back appears to have ceased.
placebo?
maybe.

will know once I have driven it plenty more on some twisties™

Do you know if the classic front upper ones will fit a pre-facelift (MY95) I have been told some don't clear the slanty radiator?
