how does it mount to the chassis? can you please post pices of that? are we able to use this in addition to my existing rear strut tower bar?

 

It mounts to existing holes under the back seat of the car, you cant see it in these pictures but i will try to get a picture of it asap. As far as using it with another rear strut brace it unfortunatly wont work. This x- brace acts as a strut brace in addition to chassis support as you can see (actually the best rear strut brace you can buy) so an additional strut brace would really do nothing and wouldnt fit, also because the x-brace mounts to the strut tops. you can see a video of it being installed on www.hspn.tv

 

can we install it

i remember when they were promoting it last time they were at your meet they said we prefer if our guy installs it

 

Yes, they now supply them with installation instructions so you can do it yourself.

 

Interesting o_O. A bit pricey though.

 

yeah they actually do work but yeah im waiting for the group buy hehe

 

"Takes 2-3 seconds off lap times."

So how scientific is this study? how do we know the driver didn't just drive better during that lap. how long is one entire lap? i find it really hard to believe that an X brase will make such a huge difference.

 

haha, you and me both

 

So do we know anyone that has installed one and tried it?

 

( Based on test results from a 2004 STi at Beaver Run In Pennsylvania).

Go google it.

 

please tell me you will make one for the wagon...not unless this will fit?

 

HOLY BIG BLUE FONT BATMAN!
