    Default Strut Brace - Will it fit?

    Hey Y'all!
    Time has come to spend a little more $$ on the car. Part of the list is a Strut Brace (likely to be whiteline). Question is, will I have any issues bolting one up with my current set-up (considering the positioning of my intercooler piping). Is there a particular spec I should look at to ensure it clears the piping. Also looking at rear sway bar and bonnet struts.


    Sorry if the question seems silly, but better to ask then buy one and find there's an issue afterwards.


    Cheers!

    whiteline strut brace are poo. without a reverse thread on one of the ends like japanese braces, you cannot load them 100%.

    their sway bars they are all good.

    Guessing no such issues with Autoexe strut braces...I'm buying a selbys RSB which is essentially a rebranded whiteline (or so I'm lead to believe). @3MPSPWR you bring the merch i'll bring a wad of fiddies next week, let's do this!

    6 months ago when I bough a catch can from Ed it was arranged that I was going to buy the set of braces when they were removed and car being sold.
    That post was merely a reminder.

    Obviously you were interested... So what? Lots of people are interested in alot of things they don't buy.
    I don't know what the deal was wether you were deciding, waiting etc. So I paid.

    What if you ended up with them and after a looooong wait I was forgotten about?? Probably different story then

    Sorry guys, i honestly didn't want to cause conflict so please please please don't fight and ruin friendships like this. I honestly offered them to both you guys exactly at the same time serious and I was literally just wanting them gone whilst the chance is there that's all. Like whether i would have put them up later on during the following weeks same situation could have happened..Wasn't like i chose one over the other. And having dealt with both you guys on a personal level i really wished i had two set of parts that i can ship but i only had one. So i am sorry it had to turn out like this but i really tried to be civil and reasonable. Like i said, you guys are definitely the people that i am happy the parts are going to. I appologize it had to come to be like this.
