Strut braces - What fits what?

Recommended Posts

Seeing as people always ask if this model brace will fit this model car, I want to help compile all this information

Please put your PROVEN experiences here, eg:

Strut brace from my BG5 also fit my GC8

Also PLEASE DIFFERENTIATE between FRONT & REAR!

Hopefully this will help someone!

A mod can sticky this :)

BC,BF,BG,BD,GC,GF,BE,BH,SF all have the same spacing on the front struts so are interchange-able. However strut towers sit futher back in BE/BH so not all braces depending on the brace design.

Can someone confirm if BC/BF are also the same?

Yep I have one on my BH

Rear brace being installed at Autotech (they made it)

rear make any difference? or just bling factor?

I would assume not - just something solid to bolt your sub boxes to!

Sorry should have made my post clearer, talking about fronts only. Original post updated. :)

I make my own braces using 30mm U section steel for the brackets, and 25mmx3mm alloy tube for the bar. No adjustment necessary, drilled to perfection :P costs me about $20 per brace plus my own labour.

Subaru Ace 1990. When one owns an oddball car, one must get custom.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
