Quote from: "ninjinski"Would this be any benefit on an 04 car which already has extra bracing fited by Toyota?

Tell you what, I was amazed at how pathetic the original plate and bar was on it. How does that do anything? Thin metal, small and not connected........

Surely it can't be there for much...........

ok, let me tell you something: get it  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I put mine on today.

even at low speeds I can tell the difference  s8) 8) s8)  

before


after


it's incredible: even with my chassis upgrades, I can feel the car being more tied to the road, the steering is more responsive to quick direction changes...

it's great.

I think it's even lighter than the stock parts  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I was wondering about getting it. now I know it was the smart thing to get  s:!: :!: s:!:

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this plate made of Aluminium. If so is it sealed or coated in any way

Also if you look at dreambackups before pic you will notice that there is a set of recesses between the old braces. What are these for and could they not be utilised as this would surely add even more strength.

Just my TPW

no, it's not sealed or coated and yes, it's aluminium.

I don't think you could use the two recesses for any chassis strengthening...
