I saw in your other post you're worried about fitment.

The ultra racing (front strut) should fit as a few other forum members have tried their stuff but a couple of the under body braces had no where to attach to.

Saying that, I'd personally either hang out until someone pops a GPvR one in the for sale section or I'd contact dstocks about getting one (cusco) from japan.

The following;

is going for $90 (second hand), given you win it your final delivered cost would be ~$245 (inc postage EMS, GST etc.).

I'm sure dstocks could get it cheaper it's the postage that's a killer.

Yep, the GPvR is almost identical to the Cusco, just pink, and arguably the best option.

I think the front VR ones are made by Cusco as well and the back ones are from ralliart.

Get the good ones not the cheap eBay ones, I have used both of them and I have to say the VR ones are a lot better. I had to learn how to drive the car all over again after I put the VR front and back bars on the car, they strengthen the cars a lot more than the cheap sets.

nope, ABS is brakes (stops you locking the wheels when braking hard), traction control is accelerator (stops you doing a burnout :lol: ).
