Forge Rear upper strut brace - who has one?

Featured Replies

Can you ship to Finland? :yes:

I'd have to move my speaker crossovers as they seem to be bolted on the same height on back of the rear seats where the strut brace would go, but would definitely be worth it :thumbup:

Just a quick question... Once installed, how quick/easy is it to remove the strut?

Bars are ready for paint! going to do them over the next few mornings. I'l be sending the nuts and the spring washers screwed into the ends of the bar. If anyone looses any then send me a message and i'll send spares. just trying to get them sent along with the bars - they will get lost!

Bare ones getting shipped?

Ive managed to remove and refit mine a few times now. It's pretty easy!! However best invest in some blue tack. It helps with the bolt placement

I can ship to almost anywhere - just the postage costs maybe an issue. Will get a price when I post the first bare one tomorrow

Did you get a price for the postage? :think: I am a bit impatient I must admit :D

Not going to be too bad for postage. Need your address for actual price. Can you pm me with it please??

Strut brace arrived this morn. fitting took around 30 minutes after figuring out what to do (youre right i lost two spring washers), i also lost the bolt down the gap and it took multiple wooden skewers to fish it out.

Verdict,

All i can say is the chassis feels stiffer and well planted. It does cause a very slight understeer in my setup (no rarb) but this is very slight

Handling feels much better and more confident in long sweeping bends

A very good upgrade

Thanks for the bars today Andy, was good to meet you and the family, and hope you got back up the road ok :)

Excellent to hear it isn't just me that notices the difference. Went a different way home. Had a great drive down & back.

The rest of the painted ones I'll get them wrapped and posted out.

All posted out today - Dalgor i'll pm you a price

I'm in 2 minds what to do. Fit it straight away, or wait and fit it after my rarb. Dont suppose it makes much difference, its just that I have big expectations with the rarb and what to feel the full benefit of that I guess.
