Strut Brace

Post by dstocks »

Maybe everyone else knows this, but I didnt.......

I didnt realise that the FTO came with a genuine Mitsubishi Strut Brace, but found this:

Were these on the GPvR or something????

Has genuine Mitsubishi part numbers for them, so they must have been on something.

      The GPvR has an LSD as standard and uprated suspension.

      Unlike the GPX though a GPvR does not have Climate Control just Manual Aircon it also doesn't have Electric Mirrors.

      i also thought the GPvR has a slightly better suspension setup,
      Traction Control, ABS, LSD, all standard...

      dang, if the GPvR came with climate control, it'd be fantastic!

      Yeah GPvR has better suspension. Slightly modded lower control arms & bushings - much heavier duty & with more adjustablility. And yep, trac, ABS is in but climate control & electrics were removed for wieght reduction - its a bit lighter than GPX.

      The GPvR doesn't come with traction control and ABS was an optional extra although I have only seen a handful without ABS.

      Apparently there are more welding point on the GPvR to make the chassis more ridged. You also get HID lights as standard and much better seat covers.

      Unless you get the GPvR Aero you don't get side skirts or central locking either.
