Does anyone know much about Ultra Racing Braces and Sway Bars??

[Guitar_Guy]

Came across this on the Pro-Wholesale website.

http://www.pro-wholesale.co.nz/ultra-racing-strut-brace-sway-bar-chassis-bracing-products/sf5-sg9-forester/

I know they don't sell rubbish products but I don't know much about these, anyone who can shed some light on them for me? Or would Whiteline be better value?

I remember someone was complaing about front strut brace for a Legacy - won't fit properly, engine cover won't go on when installed and something about stud holes being too big a needing washers to be put on. @$369 you can easily get yourself a new Cusco, Whiteline or even a Z/s swaybar.

Literally just watched my mate fit a ultra racing rear sway bar and stability bar to his legacy 2004, everything lined up perfectly. I have used them on my race car, all fitted perfectly. They are a great product, going on personal experience.

And I'm sure that if you got something that did't fit, Brendon would refund you or source the right product

04? Better off looking at the sti impreza options for swaybars and braces, the bars are identical but i'm not 100% on the braces

I got a rear swaybar for my GD when they had a sale on, fitted perfectly, price was right, does a good job, can't complain.

Got a front and rear strut brace from them, powder coating was ave quality, easy fix.

the front brace for the gc8 is one of the few that clears the v7+ tmic, solid build quality so no complaints from me

Got both mine through pro wholesale years ago

The front lower brace Type 1 is a piece of crap. I bolts the jack plate, so you can no longer jack the car up.

The bolt holes for the jack plate are much bigger than the bolts, so you need two sizes of washer to make it work.

It obstructs the under tray as well.

I have that same brace on my race car, granted I don't run the factory under tray so don't have that issue, but I found I just jack the car up with where the brace bolts onto the jack plate. I found the quality of the brace is pretty good and don't remember having an issue fitting it, it was a few years ago now tho.

I found the combination of using the brace and the undertray made jacking the car very difficult.

I miscalulated a couple of time and bent the brace nicely... luckily the car didn't fall off. It

makes changing the front swaybar a much bigger job as well.
