There's a new brand in the US offering go faster bits for the MPS. These guys have raised the bar in several ways and it's worth sharing what I've found so that others may benefit.
They're called SURE Motorsports. They appear to be an offshoot of the familiar Street Unit outfit but with a new range and a new look.
Putting aside the slick website and impressive packaging, the quality of their products and competitive pricing is, I think, unlike anything we've seen before.
I was in the market for a rear diff brace to compliment the Turbinetech diff bracket that I have ready to install. But I found that for around the same price as just the diff brace from a competitor, including shipping, I got this:
This thing is a work of art. It's machined from solid steel yet there isn't a single machining mark to be seen. That means no stress risers to induce cracks. The bushes are polyurethane and the bolt sleeves are stainless steel. It's such a change from the usual slap-happy rough-welded stuff we're used to seeing and it's so well finished that it almost seems a shame to hide it under the car.
I wasn't really interested in buying a TIP, but it was so cheap I couldn't resist. The TIP was an easy 20 minute install. Everything went together perfectly, with no swearing. The only downer was that while the TIP was off I confirmed my turbo is buggered, but that's another story.
I'll let you know how the diff brace fits, but so far I'm impressed. If everything else they make is to the same quality it's hard to see why anyone would pay more for another brand.
There was a bit of hassle with the payment because they wouldn't accept CC payment from Australia, but I worked that out with them.
