J Speed fender brace strut, has anyone purchase or have a review for this product? Options

[chacha]

just curious if any has bought something similar to this or have bought this exact product. if so, what is your take on this brace strut for the front fenders? improvements, noticeable changes positive or negative...let me know...I would like to find out what works and what doesn't for all the products we have for the 6 gen...some are rare and hard to find, post links to where to find or buy them, rate and review. hopefully, this can be turned into a productive thread.

once i get my old comp back and running i'll give you the link. i did a couple google searches but couldn't find the thread.

but honestly dont waste your money with these. I've seen people install these are the already super rigid Integra Type R DC2. this mod would benefit on our celica more than the people who put it on their ek9 and dc2 since our chassis isn't rigid at all.

your better off welding a thick piece of steel where these would go, than wasting $200 or so on this. nengnun/yahoo auctions are you only hope.

custom make a rear 3 point strut bar, rear strut bar are more of a benefit over the fronts for sure. the front has support because the firewall is close to suspension. guys who own 7th gen celica waste their money on front strut bar because the fireall is nearly touching the suspension towers...

this sort of a mod would benefit if you have a track car with ultra sticky tires like 200utoq grippyness or less.

in your case get st sway bars, front mevotech end links, and front and rear poly bushings. Your car will handle way better with the sway bars alone.

yeah, i've look into most of the mods. hopefully someday, upgrading to the full urethane mounts for the lower arms, and all four engine mounts. So far, cusco under body brace bar, 3 point strut front and back, thick ST sways, miata urethane endlinks... i have seen these and thought maybe it can help, but don't know much about them since no one has ever posted a review on them. if any improvement, i am definitely looking at Ray's under body aero plate for better air flow. I think having a product review for the products made for our cars, whether custom made or made by other company like cusco, jspeed, trd, etc can be beneficial to those wanting to upgrade for better parts.


B, thanks for you input

sway bars are a must on 6gc. if you don't buy em you've got to be pretty dumb!! there are plenty review on these even a stickied thread.
there sticky for the end links.

also a sticky for front and rear poly bushings. there are plenty of reviews.

absolutely no negative feedback from members who spent their money on the above products i listed. only happy campers.

Ive installed a few on celicas but all GT4. Unless you track there is no need for them. They do make a difference if you push your car areound bends but like the man said, you can wdld triangle plates or beams in which is cheaper and just as effective.
