Look what I Got......

Lookey what I got....

After calling at least 6 places and getting nothing but "are they making that yet, I'm not showing it" to repeated answering machines to, "never heard of that" and "I'll call you back after I check" with no return phone calls, some of which are site sponsors.... I ended up getting a hold of the guy at OutPerformanceShop.com. He put me on hold for 1 minute to check stock and said he could have it to me by next Tuesday... I said awesome, lets do it. Low and behold, 2 days later, it's here in my office.

Tanabe Under-car Brace. Probably won't do much but it shore is purrty...

For the record, I also have a pair of H&R sway bars on order. Front is 36mm thick and rear is 24mm or something like that. Both, front and rear, are adjustable. I'm hoping it'll tighten up more now with these over the Stillens.

the pics above are of my new under car brace. I have a set of stillen sways on the car, which I'm going to take off and sell and install the H&R sways.... I also have a GT Spec strut brace on order as well.

Here's where the brace goes...

$98, which was MSRP. There were a couple places that listed it for $85 but I couldn't get them to answer the phones, no stock availability or anything.

Like I said, I'm not really expecting anything but we'll see. I wanted to get it because since I'm putting the strut bar on there, this kind of goes hand in hand with that.... so if anythings going to work, the two together should do it.

hehe, it's not on yet and that's not my ride. my ride is much much cleaner.

Edit: here's what mine looks like... the red Stillens look good and will match the Tanabe brace but unfortunately they'll be coming out and the H&Rs going in are black so there goes that.

Is the HKS adjustable by means of having different end link points?

yes, the front and rear mounting points have 3 different points, I believe, on each side to adjust how much leverage the car can put on the bar. i'm very anxious to get that front one as it's 3/8" thicker and super high quality.

I was thinking 12 $hit puddles, but you may be right...
