Hey guys,
Anyone know of any manufacturers that make a front lower strut brace for the VR6?

Cheers
Simon

autotech.
Im gonna be getting one for my car soon. Either that or an RSD one from tmtuning. But i dunno. will seeee.
Apparently these make a bigger difference than the upper brace

I've heard they make a massive difference too, hmm i'm considering a flywheel and clutch package from autotech and they have 20% off for Xmas, uh oh, my credit card just ran in the corner and hid

get a rear sway bar. I believe the front sways don't do much. most of the weight in our car is in the front.

[Tim]

he said lower brace. not swaybar.
So this is what i was thinking http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/p...oducts_id=1786

or something like this

or this one from tmtuning

front swaybar is a waste of time for a vr6 unless its designed to tie in with whatever suspension package that youre running

oh, my bad, soz . . . so where do these bolt to?!

[Pullstarter]

Thanks for the links Tim, already have a rear swaybar installed and front upper strut brace, also waiting on the front swaybar, thought a lower front strut brace would finish it off nicely

I was wondering where the lower strut brace goes. It's also been called the tie bar too, right?

[Tim]

i think it ties the lower control arms together

[Pullstarter]

Pretty sure that's right Tim from what Michael at CVWC was telling me. He reckons it makes a big difference too.

Has anyone ordered direct from any of those guys listed by Tim? What was their turnaround time and shipping charges like?

[Tim]

if youre willing to wait a month or two ill probly be bringing some in when i get one for myself. Waiting for the silly season to be over. Cos getting stuff shipped this time of year is just asking for trouble

[Pullstarter]

Awesome gimme a shout when you're ready I'm in for sure

strut.. sway.. I thought they all do the same thing. my bad. yes. I just know the lower part ties to the control arm. i doubt you'll feel any significant difference strengthening up the lower strut; unless you are planning to do some racin'.
