I wouldn't touch Ultra Racing after reading some of the horror stories from a year or so back. Hopefully someone might come up with a fitted photo. :)

Not a problem as I'm converting to manual this year - all the kit is in the garage. 8) Still in need of a photo of the fittings though as will need to create them...

nothin wrong with ultra racing as long you dont get the fake hollow sh*t like bennoz. :) its a very popular brand in the drift scene. have seen a lot of guys using thier products, that have spent big $$ on thier cars.
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....

Yeah I bought my bars from ultra racing in Malaysia... The h brace cracked at the welds... Once it snapped you could actually see how rubbish the welds were under the paint... they need to beat those child Labour slaves a bit harder, they're really giving them a bad rep

This morning I had a choice: buy the Cusco brace or get a new exhaust fitted for MOT. The exhaust won as the old one had a hole in it before the silencer. So no more front strut brace for me unless another one comes up during the next 6 months. Good to know about the Ultra Racing welding problems though!
