stants Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My guess is that it locks in when the black bit is pushed towards the bulkhead ? Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsa-king Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 my 25th anniversary edition Hatch strut brace now fitted (about £25 more money than the normal Red STi version). from japanparts.. took about 3weeks to arrive :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 phill, you do realise a strut brace is supose to be a solid bar to prevent flex between the top mounts? a flexi version kinda defeats the object lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsa-king Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 So that's why I don't feel it working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Doubt you'll feel it when your polishing it and worrying about beading water mate,,,, hahaha, sorry couldn't resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Well I'd say looks great and if it has a bit of resistance it would make a small change. but does depend on how flexy it is :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well I'd say looks great and if it has a bit of resistance it would make a small change. but does depend on how flexy it is :) Idea of it is it allows vertical, but not lateral movement. Seems to be an improvements over none (according to peter solberg and chris atkinson), but not sure how it compares to a proper brace due to them doing a test with and without, not against a solid one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
