dangerous brain Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Yeah you can get virtually the same thing in this country on ebay except with black feet on ebay for roughly the same price. There was a thread about them recently can't remember offhand who it was posted it. I bought two of them and both have been very functional.

terribleturner Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Got mine yesterday and it's on the car. Seems pretty good condition/quality. And i got mine of ebay for $35 To tell you the truth i don't actually think i need it, but i'd rather pay £30 to find out rather than £100.

terribleturner Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Put mine on the weekend too. Must admit that after driving 200 odd miles yesterday i did feel that going round corners and bends felt better. Not bad for less than £20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 is weedier a word?? yeah http://www.answers.com/weedier&r=67 I was just pulling his leg because it's a lot substantial than the (bloody expensive) TRD strut brace that I've got. I think Simon took it as a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See $120 i don't think is too bad, but they are going for the same in £'s and i wasn't sure if i needed it either. £30 Paul?? Mine was brand new for just over $30.
