Hey guys, selling the fto soon & was thinking of getting a handling upgrade as my car has none atm.
First of all - if I'm selling, is a front or rear strut brace worth it considering I'm selling, and is anyone selling theirs?
I'll upload photos before I sell seeing as none of you have really seen my fto, but I'm gonna be so sad to let it go
Cheers!

WTF

Why does your car have no handling

? Have you checked your tyres..
And no it's generally not worth modding the car, just for a sale....
If you win enough races you'll unlock the sports racing package and just press A to upgrade

I'll sell the front and rear strut bracess off mine if you want to buy them. PM me for details if u r keen.
If u r just putting the mods on for sale, then it's probably not worth your while. but if you just want to tighten up the chassis a bit for handling, strut braces are probably your cheapest option

Haha how does it not make sense? - i don't have any
aftermarket handling upgrades on my car. I have stock sway bars, suspension, no strut braces.
Better?

I think I'm buying Yang's, but thanks anyway!
Just before I decide - what's everyone's opinion on strut braces? How much more of an improvement is there? I've only driven one other fto that DID have a front strut brace and it handled corners a lot better than mine, having that said his had a little wider tires (still stock suspension).

The rear definitely made a huge improvement on mine, with only also the front strut brace and lowered springs. Can't comment much on the front as I only drove the FTO once without it before I bought it off Dwayne and we put the front one on.

Think I'll go ahead and get them, I'll still have the fto for another 2-3 months & it sounds worth it!

I got rear, then front...front didn't do much but rear is definitely well worth the money!
What's the differences between those front Cusco's anyway? I'm guessing foldable vs non-foldable but are any actually better than others?

GPVR is tonnes lighter than the cusco.
