Hi all,

Right, i have the rear strut brace and front strut brace. Is there any others strut braces i can get for a 5g ?

Lewis -

Rear lower, front lower, c-pillar, some under the front wing

Front lower might present an issue if you're decked though

Yeah it might lol. The rear lower is tiny, goes on the 2WS subframe. C-pillar one would be cool to find. And under the front wings? Ive not ever seen these

Not strut braces but the wing ones are pointless to have on a street car tbh. Same with the C-pillar (@nitin_s1), there is one company that makes them in the states I think, I can't remember who though. No more rear passengers

I don't really know much about the benefit of the lower ones, probably see more benefit through polybushing and a thicker aftermarket ARB first though I imagine. Makes sense to me to do it in that order anyway, start from the bottom and replace worn items, then add new items.

Why would you needs the lower subframe braces. They will do the same as munkey spunk.

Haha!

I wouldnt mind the C-piller one. Ive got the front and back ones anyway so.

I wouldnt put one on my road car but I do have one on the track car on the rear. I dont know what the incremental difference in handling is as I did my suspension upgrades in one go, but I can see the theory behind it.
