Ian Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 None of them do anything that standard one doesn't do. They are all purely for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgedon Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 None of them do anything that standard one doesn't do. They are all purely for looks. Honestly? So just a cheapish shiney one would be fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 http://www.370z-uk.net/forum/viewtopic. ... 98&start=0 I've just completed one so once the replacement is sent down I can start on one for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Despite that I did spend nearly £600 on an ARC brace for my Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all purely for looks. +1 Sometimes you can gain some very slight weight loss but that's about it. I supply the Summit strut brace, which looks in the engine bay.

smudgedon Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'll be getting mine polished and the mounts done in purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 GT-Spec also looks pretty tasty Similar design to the Summit brace mentioned by Steve, I believe, but different colour mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'll be getting mine polished and the mounts done in purple Sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 You can do one of two things. Wait for the next one to be returned to me, I polish and paint and send to you. You swap and send your old one to me. Or Send me your one, I paint and polish and return to you. Option one means you're riding with a strut, option two is of course without. Without a strut isn't an issue unless you fancy hitting some serious wisties. If you're interested send me a pm with what you're looking for colour wise, and if you'd like one done etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 So should I just send my normal one to wasso? Jordan just PM Wasso (Ian) and deal direct. No need to put it all up here lol. Yes just take it off and post it to him. The car will handle fine:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
