Not sure mate. Its the original Prolex one. Mat used to have the same kind on the monster.

Anyone heard of the Carbing 3 point strut brace?

Anyone heard of the Carbing 3 point strut brace?

are there certain ones that are better than others? the one on eBay was made by japspeed according to the seller? any ideas

[Unregistered_User]

I would've thought so as it depends upon the material they are made from. I assume that weaker metals will flex and not serve the purpose they should - thus being asthetic in their use.

Anyone got ideas on the Carbing strut brace?

3 point sounds like the ones that go underneath...

[Unregistered_User]

No, its the upper engine bay brace AFAIK.

I thought the 3 point strut brace was for the rear. Goes in the boot across the top mounts and also to the floor

Hang on, I'll source a link...

Now I may be incorrect but this image seems to have a third connection in the middle. After all this I'm probably wrong, if so I'll hang my head in shame

It's the ASP (Altezza Sports & Prestige) car which I'm sure you all know of by now.

I've seen those on other makes before but that's the first one I've seen on an RS200....

not convinced on how much they actually work though... maybe when you have done all the other stuff first like suspension and ARB's then they might make a noticeable difference....

[lee_iceman]

I had the Prolex Katayama Brace installed for a few months, when the car was on lowering springs it made a big difference to the handing. Not too sure with standard suspension.

I know the ARB's make a big difference on OEM springs, after driving rsarin's motor.

[Unregistered_User]

So does anyone know if these are still available? (The three point s/B)

[chandru]

what are ARB's? do the braces make a diff then on the standard suspension / springs? i'm not on planning on changing any of that atm. but if the brace doesnt make any difference then maybe i wont. also are the prolex ones good? anyone know a garage or someone near coventry that would fit it?

thanks

ARB's = Anti Roll Bars, your car already has these, what people are on about is getting stiffer ones to improve handling.

[chandru]

so do the strut braces make a difference on the standard springs/ suspension? some1 here said it doesnt? and also are the prolex ones good? a few people here had them?

would any garage fit these? or lexus dealers?
