Title: Will this strutbrace fit? Front Strutbrace recommendations.
Post by: mr2stuff on May 27, 2018, 12:51
Hi All,

Would this TRD strutbrace from the US fit our UK MR2's?

Anyone on the forum seen or has one of these or are there any other options?
Cheers.

That one seems to be just straight and the RHD ones go around the brake reservoir.

As on this one;

Have a look in the affiliates section for Megillian motorsports, Steve makes a full set of braces for the Roadster at very competitive prices.
That's not to say the TRD one wouldn't do a cracking job but they're quite expensive. Having said that you'd always be able to sell it on again if you wanted.

US version MR2 suspension mounts are the same - I think its the engine that was different- so it should fit fine.  Watch out for the customs/import duty & shipping. I would be surprised if your strut bar ended up at your house for less than £260.

These come up second hand for sale here on the forum quite often usually for a lot less than that.

Thanks for the advice, will keep an eye on private sales for TRD and will check out Megillan Motorsports front brace as looks interesting.
Cheers.
