you almost certainly won't get a feed-style torque brace to fit with the autoexe front brace - it also doesn't work with automatic FDs

Lance, I generally don't like posting prices in threads, but lets just say it's a bit over $400 for that beauty. Having said that...

1) I can definitely run a GB, but I'd need some solid committment (ie deposit) and a substantial # of ppl (10 or so) to do that. And yes, the price would be cheaper. Shipping on such an awkwardly shaped item would not be fun though.

If you think there's serious interest (about this or anything else for that matter), feel free to start a GB feeler thread in my vendor section, and take the onus to gather interest and spread the word about it. If the interest is there, I'll be happy to do it

2) With or without a GB, I'll beat anyone else's price on 'em

Thanks!

Ohhhh man lol. That was wayyy below the belt I typically respond within 2 - 5 days, but every few weeks, I have to put everything aside for a week or so while I'm studying for an exam. I don't do this full-time...

You might have to check to see if it will fit on a LHD car before shelling out too much dough. From the looks, its designed to have the ABS on the left side instead of the right side like the US spec cars (positions from inside the cockpit).

I'm w/ Mahjik I can ask RE about it, but from my inexperienced eyes, it looks to have a good bit of clearance. I'd be surprised if it didn't clear...

here's the hting tho, that curved bar becomes pretty useless doesn't it because it has a weak point (the bend in it), and won't be as stiff as the other side with the unkinked straight bar from the strut tower to the firewall.

Autoexe's new system for the FD have unbent triangulated bars runing all around and might be a better choice from an engineering standpoint. I may be wrong, feel free to jump in and correct me on that, i just don't think that those curved bars will do as much good.

here's a pic of the more involved autoexe system

RE Amemiya:


Yeah this is indeed a very nice bar, I use it myself

the only incompatibility is that in order to connect the rear section, you have to drill the firewall, and it just so happens to line up with the vin number (japan vin numbers are shorter, US is longer)
