Re: which front strut brace should i buy?
hey, mate! i would recommend the your. It is a solid non-adjustable steel frame for a perfect fit whereas whiteline is adjustable, ends off with a bolt on each end, which looks pretty flimsy to me. On the other hand, who needs to adjust the strut bar anyway? isnt it just bolt on and forget?
from aesthetic point of view, its the glossy white against chrome, section of the bar is a rectangle compared to a round.
Personally i'll go for the your as its construction looks more sturdy, im not say that the other 2 will fail.
Whiteline isnt all that good. I got the 22mm rear sway bar and the brackets provided looks like its been welded by a high school kid.

Ultra Racing. The abbreviated form of the word has been filtered out to stop txtspkers abbreviating the word you're.

Haha, I might be interested in the centre undercar brace & the in-car lower brace. I've got all the other ones!
All this may save me having to buy a roll cage

Cusco or the GPvR bar (essentially the same).
Alloy (lighter) vs the Ultra Racing steel (heavier).
