Nice, how do you find it with the rear bar?

Don't by one Franky.

I am making some now, "Micks strut braces",.

For $12 I will send you a piece of square pipe and 2 nuts and bolts.

The front is too complicated but the rear looks like a piece of straight pipe.

How do you find it with both braces. Is it really much more noticeable when driving, or only when you nail it?

Haha Mick.

Nah just curious how it handles with the rear, don't think I can fit it anyway with the tank in the way.

Hey SkoobyGt

why would you want to make one when you could just go and buy a rear cusco one for $168 with all the end plates already made

To be honest I haven't noticed any difference but I fitted them cause it was easy to do my self. Once I fit the lower arm bars frt and rr with the cusco sway bars then I should hopefully notice a difference. Once thats done then its time for these babies(cusco zero 2 coilovers) then we'll see the difference.ImageImage

I want to see pics of the rear lower arm bar! I've seen the front, that I will definitely be getting, but the rears... interested to know if it makes much difference.

It's hard to say what difference the rear lab made cause I did a whole lot of things at the same time. When I fitted the lab I also fitted the sway bars,strut bars and coilovers along with the DCCD centre diff. All those parts together transformed the car into a fast cornering ride that sits and grips like a go kart. The only problem now is the seats dont hold you in place with the speed the car carrys through the corners. Idealy I'd like to take the car out onto the track to see how it go's there.
