So who else is interested in doing a custom 4 point strut bar? I dont remember how much harold said it will be but its not more than $200. Also, i think harold said the guy wont be back until the beg or end of february. Plenty of time to save up. So who else wants one?

I don't think strut braces really do much on our cars. The x-brace will help you a LOT more than a strut brace will. __________________

A 4. will be better and itll cost the same so why not  | | | | | 01-07-2008, 03:54 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 |
Who's this guy? Does he do these kinds of things often? It'd be interesting to see if he has any engineering background to ensure it's actually functional and not just for decoration.
Sorry to sound so skeptical, just want to lay out the obvious. __________________

Lazoh knows the guy, not me. Lazoh, this is the same guy that did your roll cage right? | | | | | 01-07-2008, 04:03 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: 909-281 Posts: 233 |

You could have just back spaced 
Well, i want to talk to harold and the guy first and see what happens. | | | | | 01-08-2008, 03:35 PM | #11 | | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 |
This guy only makes custom race fabrications, he is not the guy that di my roll cage but he does a lot of fabrications for Ireland Engineering. He has a 2002 with the 4 point strut brace and according to a few people this type of set-up helps. I hope he comes trough for us since he is very busy and the 4 point is a small job for him at $200.00. I will keep you posted HuGo. | | | | | 01-09-2008, 09:24 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: 909-281 Posts: 233 |
