Yes that's correct. But free shipping to US. They are made there.

Hello all! Tell please low bar need to install under the plastic liner or on top of it? Stock bars was installed under plastic.
And more question, need to cut the plastic liner or not? I think the plastic is in a stretched state.





Or...

Always under. Do you really want a stupid plastic liner between the brace and the subframe? Just cut that ****.

Hey, I'm looking to get their front and rear bars as well. I noticed your pic of the rear brace you must have managed to cut the liners. Any tips on how you made it look so clean after install? Which pieces need to come out in order to mount and how did you make the cuts etc? Any info is much appreciated.

I do not have the exact sizes. I installed the bar and then cut the carpet cover.

Quick install question since I picked up a few more pieces. For the two-piece lower links, the stocker is attached with a fairly beefy reverse-Torx in front and a 16mm hex nut in back. I started torquing off the E-Torx and realized it appears to attache the subframe up to the chassis. Is this right? I stopped b/c wasn't sure implications of removing. Do I need added support under there? And why did these ship with two much smaller hex bolts and washers? Thanks!

I just unscrewed and screwed first on one side and then on the other.

Hey. Sorry to bump this old thread. I was just ordering these. Wanted to ask how are holding up after all these years? You still have them on the car? And did you install the top one in the bonnet area too? Thanks!

They're great, I have the full set installed. The front underbody cross brace has been scraped a bit and is showing a little rust. Plan to clean it up next week and recoat with a little spray enamel.

Sweet. I’ll place the order for all these. Really appreciate you updating constantly. Do you have the one in the boot and bonnet as well? Thanks

I’ve also had the full set this year and echo Jim’s feedback. His experience and review is why I got my set. I got the boot and bonnet as you call them and sprayed them oe red like the OP did. Nice little dress up piece. The eBay seller is great and they ship really quick via FedEx from Malaysia.

I was ordering them of the American website. Haha yeah I said bonnet and boot cause there’s so many and I’m not good with names. Let me check out eBay if it’s cheaper. Glad I joined this forum. I’m new into taking my car on the track. I’ve done a few days on the stock car. I’m sure this will help me out with times

Yep. Check out EBay seller ultraracing-autosport. I think that site had best prices.

Being a Mech Engineer, I can immediately see that this cross member is not stiff enough to make any difference. Made as a beam, the square dimensions is not adequate ( moment of inertia is not big enough ) , and the fact that it bends upwards to create clearance makes it bend away even more easy. The towers will move only slightly anyway, so the member has to very stiff, blocking the movement, like a 2" tube, 1/8 wall thickness.
Just my 2 cents.

FYI - if anyone's looking I have the main front lower b

race avail, brand new.... it won't clear with my ARH headers... I have all the others and they're great and contributed to a much more rigid felling and solid hookup.... a perfect match for the Eibach swaybars.

Blkrkt did you have to bend yours or did it fit with the headers you are using (MBH?)

I think it's an issue unique to the ARH's w/ Cats..... it could've been spaced out to clear but would've reduced ground clearance too much...

I've wrapped it up, and it's ready to go to a new home.....

BTW very impressed with the LSD !

They were inexpensive enough that I thought I'd give them a shot.... we will see.

This guy has all the cool stuff, I wish I could see your w204 in person.. I bet a coffee it's the most equipped in America. You surely don't see these kind everywhere.
