Front lower brace 172/182

[portal172]

Hi there,

What do you guys think of this?

We can get it fairly cheap over here in Australia as it's made locally.

Do you think it would be of any benefit? Whiteline are a reputable company here.

Also looking at their rear adj sway

What do you think? And how do you think it will affect handling?

Cheers.

i dont think it would be any benefit as the sports subframe is already very stiff , it doesnt replace a strut top brace as this is designed to stop the top struts from twisting.
i could see it catching on speed bumps and small animals in the UK

Depends how you use your car, but for track use any strengthening is good news. If you have standard (i.e. soft) suspension, you probably won't feel a difference.

As you say though Jon, clearance could be an issue!

It would be nice to hear about the adjustable ARB, i haven't found any different ARBs over here at all which is a bit strange.

Doing some track work for sure.

Apparently the rear sway dials out understeer.

Not sure about how effective that lower front brace is but the adjustable ARB looks the business.

Coming from a Subaru background I'm pretty familiar with Whiteline stuff and it's good quality stuff.

I think Demon Tweeks are the UK supplier for those interested.
