FTO AUSTRALIA

just wanted to make sure, that the FTO can use the same rear brace from a CE lancer.

and that the EVO 6 is based on the CE lancer chassis. and most importly, will it fit? is a cusco brace for around $200 worth it?

thanks guys

Well I had a Cusco rear strut brace some time ago, and it had a sticker on it saying that it would fit the following cars:

Lancer - CD5A, CD9A, CE9A, CM5A (GSR, Evo I-III)
Mirage - CC4A, CA4A, CJ4A
FTO - DE3A

Having said that I never tried fitting it to my car as I have the factory brace. But the holes seemed to line up...

i tried a lancer one, yes it fit but i couldn't close the bonnet, i also heard if it's a manuel FTO which mine one is it won't fit but not too sure

He's after the rear strut brace

oh yeh, point proven i'm blind

i saw the rear sturt bar on ebay, starting at a goodie price

so by the way, anyone put a top bar on their manuel FTO yet? if so tell me how much and where u got it from

you mean front strut akuma??? mine is manual and i fitted the UAS one.. lots of guys Have front struts here on manual...

UAS ones have problems fitting with cars that have ABS fitted I think.

oh sweet ... castle hill here i come lol, i think it's on special now too

damn they're not on special anymore ... my orginally quote was $100 in other place after try on my bonnet wouldn't close so couldn't buy that one

does anyone know anywhere else which cost much cheaper then UAS close to $200
