well the first batch is made.

if you want them painting please let me know...

Front JAPSAI braces made up

Rear JAPSAI braces made up

Front JAPSAI brace fitted to IS200 race car

Rear JAPSAI brace fitted to IS200 race car

Both JAPSAI braces fitted to IS200 race car

i will be able to start shipping in a few days, but as i said, if you wish to paint them yourself that is fine.....otherwise i will give them a coat of JAPSAI red

Must also add......these are far better constructed than the Toms ones i purchased

Japsai Red.. is that a colour after a trip to portsmouth docks?

looks good though mate!

Thanks Mat - these look fantastic!

Can't wait till we fit mine.... Japsai Red for me please bud....

Japsai Red for me too Mat, thank matey...

These look really cool Mat.

Looking good Mat, I think the Japsai Red is great..

How considerate...
standing the race car on it's side to take that last photo
Hope it didn't scratch the paint too much

they look lovely.

Not dissing or anything, just interested, but do the other manufacturers test theirs for levels of torsion etc, and how do you think yours will compare?? Or do they all not bother.

Wish I could plumb them on mine, don't think esure would like it though!

Top job that man.

.........kev, mine are obviously far better, as ive actually welded the peces together with proper welds rather than the crappy welds ive seen on the "Top Brand" makes.....

as for testing, there are numerous web sites where people have fitted these and had possitive feedback on there abilitys.

so taking the fact mine are.....of a more sturdy construction, id say the benifits will be felt when the car is pushed hard

Mat..

When I fitted my Anti roll bar kit I noticed a dramatic difference....

How can you define the difference this kit will make

I hardly noticed any difference with the upper strut brace.

Can't wait though..

the car will feel more stable, the steering will feel more precise,

in reality my limited vocabulary finds it hard to put into laymans terms the benifits.

the main function of these braces is to tie the main suspension mounts and steering mounts all together, there by bracing the chassis and reducing the Twisting effects that happen on the floorpan/chassis under heavy acceleration/braking and cornering.

That will do... Sounds good to me.

heres the front ones ready to ship out.....

Painted front JAPSAI braces

Pukka

These look brilliant.. Damn, wish i got me name down for some

So Mat, when you taking orders for the next batch please?

....just wondered really!

As with most things you do Mat, you do it properly, so I have no doubt these are excellent pieces.

lovely jubbly Mr C

i will make more when i get at least another 3 peeps intrested.

£350, as the last lot i almost was out of pocket on....infact only broke even

so if your still intrested IMI PM me

The rear ones will help in stability especialy as they go right across the car coupled with any other bracing devises you've got(upper braces,stiffer roll bars) will only add to them not flexing and staying rigid when cornering quickly.

Mat..

You really excell yourself.. They look the bee's knee's mate.

Tested the braces today on the race car......did i notice a difference, YEP SURE DID, even though the race car is braced up to the hilt anyway with the roll cage, the car just seemed more taught.

so i recon you guys will defo notice a difference.

however on the race car ground clearence isnt great, but they only caught once, coming over a raised manhole cover.

when i inspected the brace(rear) back in the workshops....it had only slightly caught on a weld..2mm high

the race car is lowered 80mm, so i dont forsee any clearence problems for normal road use.

under the rear brace there is 5" of clearence, and the rear brace does sit lower than the front to clear the exhaust.

Hi there Matt,

Are you still able to sort these out?

Old topic and I'm reviving it
Many thanks,
Jamie

I think these are only available second hand now.

Prolex do some similar braces.

if i could get enough interest i can make a new batch......

I m interested mate. How many folk would you need?

would not bother............

these are made from steel used in making bridges..............

proper ones are made from aluminium/lightweight steel and the difference is noticeable
