Hawaii forum members will save over the normal group buy price because I will not have to include shipping expenses to the mainland... so for locals, prices for this group buy are as follows:

COST:
~ Front upper strut brace - $235.00 shipped

~ Front under brace - $255.00 shipped

...sorry I realized too late that I forgot to post this here and all the slots for the rear 3-point brace are taken. I have two slots left for either/and front upper strut brace or front lower under brace.

If anyone's interested, lemme know.

Are you picking up the C-One strut brace Clint? If you do, Can I buy your Tanabe bar? :gap: My car needs more of Clint's old parts. LOL!

does the front strut brace link to under the radiator? cuz if it does I don't see how it helps....

It braces the front cross member to the lower radiator support. I'm not sure if it works, but I doubt C-ONE would make a product that's worthless... I would think this bar would be more of a finishing touch than a must have tho. Anything that can strengthen the chassis in the front can only be positive I would expect... I noticed a difference immediately with just the addition of the Cusco front lower bar.

Nada with the rear Tanabe underbrace tho. Bleagh.

I would guess that c-one would only make quality parts but it really doesn't look like it could do much. maybe it's just the way the pic is oriented.

[QWKsilvr808]

where the bar is bolted to is exactly where the Cusco bar bolts on... except the Cusco bar braces side to side torsional flex, and it seems like the C-ONE bar attempts to brace against forward to backwards motion.

I'm not gonna get it anytime soon tho. :)
