R32 Strut Braces

[jez-r32]

thinking about buying some strut braces for my r32 gtst any1 know if it realy matters witch ones i buy?

are the cheap ones off ebay still gonna do the same job as expencive ones? or is it worth the extra cash

It's just a brace...once you fit it you'll go wow that's an awesome upgrade, then you'll forget you ever did anything at all.

Go cheap. JJR has some relatively inexpensive options.

Ye I would the same thing. If you look at the majority of the designs I found them to be quite similar. There might be differences in the diameter, some are hollow I think, etc but if you just doing general driving then it shouldn't really matter.

Some of the wreckers have used 'expensive' ones. Might be worth a look.

If you have a choice, get one with the brake master cyl stopper built in.. other than that it is only cosmetic.

Its a double wishbone car, from what I understand there is no point spending 200$ on a triple tube steel Greddy brace when you can get a JJR brace for 99.

A cusco BMC stopper is 100ish IIRC.

You could look at getting front strut brace made to go from the front upper control arm mount to the firewall on each side. Have thought about this but not measured it up yet, but will be looking into doing this with a fitter and turner mate if I keep my car.

As rb_ryan says, fairly pointless on the skylines. More useful for anything with a macpherson strut type.

The front is really the one that might give you some small gain. Rear is totally useless.
