Title: Rear bracing
Post by: Anonymous on January 27, 2006, 11:34
Hi Folks,

Am looking for a brest plate from Corky and have picked up on the fact that he's currently out of them. Everyon seems to be raving bout them so think I'm going to take the plunge but just wondering about the rear of the car. I know C-One do rear support bars and Toms do a pretty heavy looking thing as well. Just wonder has anyone tried them.

If so what are they like.

Personally i'd leave the back and get a front.

yep, i've got the back and front and in retrospect, wouldn't bother with the back. Get a decent front strut brace, the TRD is excellent

Did you install them at the same time or separately? I did both together and am very happy with the overall balance it maintained.

yep did both together,and i am really pleased with them, but last year i had to swap the rear TRD brace out for access to the engine and put the stock one back in temporarily. The difference in responce and handling was negligable. I could still hang the back out in a corner and the control loss was minor, IMHO this braceing is more pleaesing to the eye than control on the road

I have a Corky and have also fitted both a rear and front Cusco strut brace. The front was a lot more noticable than the rear even with the Corky previously fitted.
