Title: Under body braces - where to get?

I have a pfl and wondered where we can get an under body brace from?


Stick a V8 in it...

If you just want a standard FL brace, Rutland MR 2 about £40 and it will need a brush-up and paint job.

Hi Dave, if your matt brace is new and '8thumpers' doesn't want it I'd really appreciate next dibs please if possible? I've been looking for one of these for a while?   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  Cheers, Steve.

He has indeed packed in his mr2 life by about 90%. I wouldn't expect a response to be honest.

Have a look at Megillian Motorsport. They do a nice under body brace for  £110 delivered.
Facebook them [emoji4]

Is this like a group Buy?

Nope - as CTM said - these are just the standard forum-friendly prices. I think there was a slight discount, but we'd need 10 people to get that.



Personally, I'll get all 5 of these at some point, but need to stump up for MeisterR's first as that's where the "excess flex" is (my 60k mile OEM suspension)...
Quote
Upper Front strut-brace £100
Upper rear strut-brace £115
Lower Front brace £110
Lower Midbrace £115
Lower Rear brace £110

All 5 can be done for £480
Or 3 lower for £300

CTM - did you get these in the end? How quick/easy is the install? Couple of axle stands or do you need a proper hoist / garage of sorts?

There's so much of this stuff that I'd LOVE to do, but after our house extension my garage is gone and the remaining driveway is tiny and more importantly, it's deep gravel, so anything that requires jacking the car up is very risky and likely to need to go to the pro's (or be done at somebody else's house).

Forum friendly prices I think. I've got the beginnings of an order in already for my insurance renewal in March.
