Default Strut Brace Installed (pics)

I'm off to work in Malaysia again tomorrow for two weeks so while I had a few spare minutes today I took some photo of the Sparco strut Brace installed on the Cougar. As I previously mentioned this was installed at the same time as my Whiteline swaybar. I haven't has a heap of time to fully experience the difference but the little time I have driven the car I can feel it's more stiff and has less body flex. I'll let you know more once I've had a chance to do a little more spirited driving, you know what I mean.
Feel free to comment, let em know what you think.

I think it looks pretty good... so did you have a shop install it all for you? I'd be wondering how I'd go installing it myself :|

It's designed pretty well considering there's not a lot of room in there!

Hey Abraxas, i wouldn't think you would need a shop to fit it. Looks like a straight forward bolt-on job. :

Hey cougs, i would recomend buying them 2nd hand those KN air filters are warranted for 1500000 miles, also the struct braces you should find on the nissan skyline and those type of car websites for sale.

Cheers,

Yes, it probably could be bolted straight on quite easily, but I think Prof had a shop do it. The three mounting points would have to be drilled in to the suspension tower, which I have absolutely no confidence in doing myself.

The Inlet cover can be purchased from Creative Compacts www.creativecompacts.com, but I think Prof got it from InFocus Motorsport (who were able to source it for him, and they're Aussie based).

Pod setup is a K&N Charger kit (or something like that).
