FreedomCore Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know if there are any rear struts for N/A's that wouldn't require trimming or removing the trim? If none, then minimal trimming. So far ive looked at a few different Cusco's and a Ultra racing one. The Ultra Racing one looks most promising.

Guard1an Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I believe Greddy one requires no trimming, not sure if it fits UK N/A model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I saw that one. The only problem is that the bolts on the top mounts are reversed on the N/a. I sadly discovered this after buy a Glanza 3 point strut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 There is trimming involved with ultra racing ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can rotate the brackets the opposite way so problem solved Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's there to make it handle not look pretty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Im trying to achieve both. =] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Haha any strut brace looks better than none ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 got one with fixed ends and fit it neatly, its an aftermarket part after all cant expect it to fit like factory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RicoW Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 a Toms one will fit without trimming too but is very rare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ok so ill probably have to trim regardless. But while i have your attention. What does everyone think of the Ultra Racing strut? Was considering getting it and maybe painting it up in something darker than white. More like Black. =] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Aslong as it has fixed ends + has a thick solid bar not a hollow one get the cheapest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 exactly ^ most important thing is get one with welded ends have a read thru and check the test pics out: http://www.ultraracing.my/home/knowledge-base/material-and-design/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ultra Racing it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sent you a pm, and then realised who said about the ultra racing strut in my thread. *face palm* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 lol paint it black and just get it on ^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Why a solid bar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 most hollow bars have a very thin wall thickness thus lack strength, they also usually have thin strut top plates with pivots.....a solid welded bar is best or atleast a welded bar with a thick hollow tube anything which isn't absolutely rigid, detracts from the intended function of bracing imo of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 But the standard hollow strut brace on the glanza and gtt are both ample. Anything that doesnt bend.when you stand on it is more.than up to the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 they have welded ends so will be fine ^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ultra racing bars are brilliant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 so my tein brace isnt as good as a gt one because it has pivot ends? damn if only tein knew about handaling they could of designed it better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
