vvteye Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I have a chance to buy a Greddy front strut brace for £125. Is this a good deal and/or good bit of kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yeah I would say thats a good deal. You wont find many for much less, and its a Greedy one so it must be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]44462[/ATTACH] £125 is quite expensive, does that include postage? I can supply for around £100 delivered. The GReddy ones are okay, not as good as the likes of the TRD or Carbing braces though, but then these are around £50-60 more. Give me a shout if you want any more details.

Bob Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Get yourself a Carbing mate, they are lovely bits of kit. Obviously work too, as when mines on if i jack up one side of the car at the front, it lifts the other side too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I don't recommend the TRD, after a couple of years the heat in the engine bay will cause the paint to flake and then it'll start to rust. The Carbing one looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Here is a pic of the Carbing brace fitted on Supragolds car. The added benefit of the Carbing brace, is that it includes a brace for the brake master cylinder, this prevent flex, which results in a firmer brake pedal feel and increases stopping power. The brace is also available to fit NA Supra (most others do not clear the intake manifold). It is also compatible with the Tein EDFC motors. Price including postage £160. http://f10.putfile.com/7/18616385520.jpg http://f10.putfile.com/7/18616374710.jpg http://f10.putfile.com/7/18616394351.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks for the advice guys. Carbing it is then... Clearly the additional benefit of the brake brace outweighs the bling. For the record, the Greddy was $119 plus $79 delivery. I'll wait to see the final invoice from my recent engine rebuild then contact you Nic to get an order in. Thanks to all who responded.

Okay just give me s hout if/when mate. Forgot to mention, the Carbing and TRD braces are welded together which makes them a lot stiffer than a bolted together brace. The TRD one is steel and is quite heavy the Carbing is aluminium and is suprisingly lightweight. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
