As they are all just metal and connect to similar/same places I would say they would be pretty similar.

You could even try making your own out of some broom sticks

(I couldn't resist)

Serious question why would you bother? what are you expecting it to do ?

I have to agree with Buddah here. :shock:

Race car yes. Road car no.

Pointless for a road car, even a road car that see's a track day once or twice a year.

Rear swaybar + upgraded mounts = done.

IMHO (and what I bought) the AVO ones are steel and the only valid option. Any of the cusco braces in alloy may as well be butter. Took a bunch of stuff including the AVO braces to my powder coated who made everything beautiful blue anyhow. No more police attracting AVO orange!

People spend money on what they think is important, I love decent handling without slop and don't regret it.

I noticed quite a significant difference with the front cusco h brace, rear arm braces and diff cradle braces and the ikeya formula adjustable camber arms

Prior to this was just rear swaybar and hd mounts

It definitely firms up the handling and makes it more linear and predictable

I would go with the ones you get best support from

Michael at g88 for cusco stuff hands down

Just in reference to your first sentence, I think you'll find that steel is an alloy.....

sorry yes steel is an alloy, Cusco braces are aluminium not alloy. Alloy/aluminum a one of those incorrect things I always mix up and say incorrectly when brain is in the wrong gear :oops:

BTW here's a nicely written article on braces and chasis stiffening http://www.tuneruniversity.com/blog/2011/09/getting-stiff-strut-bars-and-braces/

Going to dig this thread up for a bit of info, who makes these braces and where can we find them? Been struggling to find ones

AVO and Cusco (they're both mentioned in the first post).

For Cusco, talk to Garage88.

For avo: tuspeed or revzone.

Here's a shot of my Cusco braces which did tighten the car up without being at all uncomfortable.

The best way I could describe the before and after difference would be on a track day I found afterwards I felt like I had more time during cornering even though I was going faster. I guess I was less busy at the wheel keeping the car stable at high cornering speeds.

These plus the anti-lift kit made an enormous difference to the handling of the car, eliminating understeer and making it very predictable.

Very nice! Cusco swaybars by the looks too?

Indeed!

I've had this set up for seven years now and I've been very happy with it.
