Courier turned up this morning with another box from Japan. A beautifully crafted C-One strut brace...

The quality of finish of this is absolute perfection. Comes with all the nuts and bolts required plus a new bracket to re-locate the WAI overflow bottle.

Fitment was straightforward with all the holes lining up exactly. If this doesn't stop the front towers from moving, nothing will laugh.gif

Took the car for a blat this afternoon and the car certainly turns in a lot sharper due to the suspension geometry being kept in check. Less movement between the towers means the struts move in and out less so everything stays as it should and the car handles better as a result. So it's not just pure bling after all smile.gif

That looks really nice Gary. Its funny, I noticed very little when adding my strut brace.

ohhhh - so sexy - how much?


Checked out the website. Looks the strut bar is going for about ¥26,276 JPY which at the current exchange is about $220.68 USD. Shipping would be another consideration in the price depending how far away the box would have to travel.
they make my car more solid and stable over bumps.

All ST205s have a strut brace from factory. But it isn't as strong or as bling as the C-One unit..

So why does bulletproofauto have it for around $600 confused.gif


I was about to buy the cuscos F&R, but if I can get the C-ONE for under $300 I'll get that biggrin.gif

If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle. Instant NASCAR!!!
