which is why I can't work out why people try to make their GTST's into R copies or try to make them faster.

My saying is that if you want a faster car , buy one from the manufacturer. Usually works out cheaper in the long run.

I assume you are talking about the brace between the shock mounts under the bonnet and not the sway bars under the car.

Strut braces work if they are attached to the suspension ( ie Macpherson strut style. )

The lines are double wishbone and the mount you are attaching to is not a stressed member of the car.Also unless it is straight and substantially thick , it will flex anyway.

I think you would find if you did an MC type day with the bar on and off , the difference would be marginal.

But hey , it looks cool and I have em on my car ( cos they came with it )

ken - hmmm everything you say sounds right.. but it still seemed to make a difference... maybe it is all in my head... but as you said - they look cool.. hehehe :(

paul - springs will be on the cards definitely.. was talking to no_respect tonight when i picked up the brace - his is about the right height (only about an inch lower than mine) and he said that he still retained a firm but comfy ride... he also said they're pretty damn easy to fit?

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
