Title: Front Strut Brace
Post by: WizardOf on November 06, 2006, 02:36:50 PM
Hi,
I\'m new to the forum so thought Id introduce myself and ask a question! Have had my 1st Gen for 16 years and will never get rid of it :-)  Heres a pic

(http://muchos.co.uk/members/wizardof/RX-7-lite.jpg)

I\'ve played with the suspension a bit and its sitting on uprated dampers and lowered / uprated springs.. Eibach i think...  I want to get a strut brace but am having trouble locating one. Can anyone help?

Cheers
Kevin

  I\'ll look in to it!!!

We had to drill 1 hole on either side to make it work and then gently with a nylon or similar hammer just beat the living daylights, Sorry, tap 1 edge down to make it flush with the top of the strut housing.

Whiteline in OZ do one.  I got mine shipped over, cost about £150ish I think.  All pollished up & cool
