I just won a set of genuine Version R front and rear braces on Yahoo Japan day before Yesterday. They should arrive in a couple of weeks

    yes they will fit and as jonowong said I fund tht they are a lot better than the cheeper sets as they are a lot stronger.
    I highly recomend you spend the $$$$ on getting the VR ones as you will be a very :D person when you test it out after they are on :twisted:

      I got the last set this set is a new lot :D and it was from Yahoo Japan not ebay :twisted:
      the ebay ones are ok and cheep but nowhere near as good as the ones that dstocks can get for you.

      Yeah, I put bids on them every time they come up. Sold AZA the last set. This is another set. There are about 60 pages of stuff at any one time and all for the FTO. Its like being in a toyshop. What will I grab next......

      Eyeing off a couple of DCuatro braces atm as well
