10 already, excellent - keep 'em coming guys.

Won't know the price until Mike has done a production brace then he will work out what it will be, I wouldn't like to guess but it will probably be in the £50-100 bracket.

Only just figured it out!

 

[RobDon]

OK I spoke with Mike to get an idea of price, and he says as a rough guide £90 for the brace. This will include a quick release mechanism - so it is much more advanced that anything that has come before.

So for £90 you'll get a quick release bolt-in fully adjustable rear strut brace made from aerospace grade stainless steel - I'd say that's one heck of a deal! From the list shown above, I now need to know if you want to commit to buy one please?

 

[D8MNS]

count me in robdon

sounds like a decent price

Yes I will.

Will this fit to other cars, and wich? (Golf/A3/S3?) If yes, I could probably order some more!

How soon can the it go in production? (When will we have it?)

 

[Scotty_b]

90 sounds ok to me.

 

[LDoR]

I'm almost tempted to forgo my no mods till my next car embargo and buy one

 

[ninjabadger]

yes im still in as long as no more than that

 

[Slime101]

Hmm, definatly looks interesting but i'd like to see a finished one (pics) first.

Also with them boldtin thought a hold, the inner mount panel doesnt seem to have a great deal of contact with the car as the bulk od the backing space is a void in the bodywork, would it not be better if it had a larger contact area??

ME ME ME
as long as there is no drilling for my LCR at all and price dependant!

 

[jmarkha1]

yes count me in for one - be good to check out pictures of the finished jobbie first. thanks

 

[Pabs]

Hmm, semi interested here. Price is good, although I need to make sure it doesnt foul up with my sub boxes which are the standard wedge shape against the back of the seats.

 

[rdjmoose]

I am interested, count me. Only one question, if I only have the front lower stut will this rear strut cause the car to be prone to understeer and therefore make it more dangerous?

 

[RobDon]

I am sending back the plates and bars back to Mike as I had to trim them to fit, so he's using them as production templates, I estimate getting back a production brace in 1-2 weeks, I will put up loads of images for you all to see. £90 is the maximum it will be, no more.

 

[RobDon]

Nope, a rear brace will not promote more understeer - on the track on Saturday I had zero understeer!

 

[rdjmoose]

Sorry I meant oversteer, oops. Will it promote more oversteer without a front uper strut?

 

[RobDon]

I wouldn't think so, it just tightens up the whole back end and helps reduce any twitchiness and flexing - it should help handling, not make it worse.
