As of now, this is only for 4th Gens! I am trying to get information on the A33 chassis as of now.

This is a poll (the first one I've made actually) on what color to order the LOWER strut brace in. It seems that majority of people are only interested in the lower one, since most everyone has a FSTB or can get one for cheap.

I will update very soon with more information the questions in the previous thread

about clearance, bolt lengths, etc.


Thanks

P.S. By voting, you are letting me know that you are a potential buyer. Serious buyers only, so I can get an accurate count of about how many should be made for a group deal.

 

 

Here are questions that were asked:

1) Can you ask the manufacturer and see if the lower tie bar will fit on the A33 chassis (2000-2003)?

NOT POSITIVE IT WILL FIT AN A33. I WILL TRY TEST FITTING ONE BUT WE NEED TO FIND SOMEONE LOCAL WITH THE A33.

2) Install. Do you have to use longer bolts?

NO, NO ADDITIONAL BOLTS OR BRACKETS REQUIRED. LOWER ARM BAR USES ALL PRE-EXISTING BOLTS.

3) What does it do to ground clearance?

I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT MEASURMENTS. THE CAR THAT WE HAD BUILT IT ON HAS 18" WHEELS AND TEIN COIL OVERS.

4) So if you have to do some tranny/exhaust work, you have to remove those long control arm bolts to take the brace out??

TO DO ANY MAJOR WORK THE LOWER ARM BAR MUST COME OUT. IT TAKES ABOUT 30 MINUTES IF YOU TAKE YOUR TIME.

5) Would it clear aftermarket Y-pipes? (a straight through pipe that connects the exhuast from the engine and the catalytic converter?)

WE ARE GOING TO BUILD OUR OWN Y-PIPE SOON. IT CLEARS THE OEM PIPE WITH NO PROBLEM BUT I AM NOT POSITIVE OF AN AFTERMARKET.

6) Are there are any other sort of modifications required to make it fit.

NO MODIFICATIONS TO MAKE IT FIT. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED ARE SOME HAND TOOLS.

7) clearance issues? (this is important)

I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW LOW IT IS AS SOON AS I CAN.

8) How would this work in combination with a FSTB and RSB. Would it make the chassis too still in combination with the RSB?

WITH ALL STB'S IN PLACE IT SHOULD HANDLE PRETTY GOOD. I SUGGEST YOU DON'T ARMOR-ALL YOUR SEATS TOO MUCH.

 

I hope your y-pipe is going to be cheap. How much does the lower one go for by itself without the upper one.

 

Well I'm not actually the one selling the stuff...just a representative.

I'm not sure about the pricing details...that's why I need a count of potential buyers first. Just to get a general idea.

 

Here is the info on the ground clearance.

Lower arm bar is 2 3/4" from the ground.
Bumper was measuring 6 1/2" and the sides measured at 5 3/4"
This was with tein suspension and 18" wheels.

The customer only scraped it once going through a dirt parking lot.

 

2 3/4" off the ground is pretty low

 

I don't think most of us are on coilovers.

 

Well, I'm not sure if tehre's still an interest in them, but the manufacturer has about 20 of them ready. Just reply with a * in the subject line if you would like one. Depending on how many serious buyers, I can have a price ready asap.

 

I'm interested, but need a price to be sure.

 

price as well

 

same here..with a good price tho..i'd be more interested

 

need to know price.

 

that's perfect for my car... i'll need a price tho.

damn chris, i can't imagine ure suspension... u even have those side beams to stiffen the car. anywho, thanks for gettin this goin

 

interested depending on price of course.
