Lower Strut Brace

Recommended Posts

DanteICE

I've been researching the OMP lower subframe brace and I've come across a couple of posts by Rippthrough were he said he made his own.

 

I was wondering if I could see what it looks like and how well it worked?

 

Also..carbon fibre strut brace? wow...any pics? (mentioned on Rippthrough's profile page.)

they worked better than the omp as they fitted without any clearnce issues! he's recently done a revised twin tube version to improve ground clearance (for the 306 gti6 forum lot)

The reason I ask on here is that his inbox seems to be full.

 

Any pics or links of the 306 or 205 stuff?

 

Why isn't he making them for us? Where's my bat...this fella needs some things brought into perspective!!! :P

 

Come on Rippthrough give your two cents.

Right, haven't got around to doing any 205 ones as I've been too busy, only just got around to doing more of the 306 ones tbh, hopefully once I've got a few of those out of the way I'll be able to borrow someone's 205 for a day and get some twin tube versions made for those too, 306 ones:

What is the cost of the 306 item you are selling here?

 

And where is the pictures of this carbon fibre (not fiber, FIBRE; you stupid spell checker!!! - on a separate note, can we get this forum changed to international English?) strut brace mentioned in your status updates?

 

What are the advantages of this type of item over the OMP item?

You need to change the spellcheck language in your browser.

I owe you a pint my friend. I just thought it was the forums...I take it back forums, apologies.

Carbon fibre one on my own car, not making those to sell though, far too labour intensive.

Understandably, I just want pictures. I'm a bit of a Carbon Fibre addict really. :blush:

I needs me a 205 to work off, and a spare subframe, and 8 day weeks.

8 day weeks you say? That sounds like the easier option of the tasks above, I shall get started on providing you with this extra day.
