Ya, I've seen that one. Its would be great but they don't ship here. It is possible to get it from web store (www.frsport.com) however, its still $170. Plus about $60 shipping (what i usually get quoted) it works out to be R1 771.84... A bit expensive for a strut brace I think.

@ Trance, no it doesn’t touch the manifold… was a straight fit, no problems and it was a while back, can’t remember the seller…. sorry

I've found this cheap megan strut brace set. (ebay link)

Do you guys think that the front will fit? It looks like it has bends similar to the one that KimiG has. I've emailed the seller aswell to see if he thinks it will fit.

I have emailed the guy thats selling those Megan strut braces on ebay and he says that they will fit on a 200sx with a ca18det. I wonder if he really knows for sure.

I've also found these ones (click). They will definitely fit but I don't know if I like the look of them.

the megan front strut has the same design as the one in the pic that you posted above it.

see the mounts on the strut towers??? same design.

see the symmetrical curves on the blue part of the brace??? same design.

so it looks like it will fit
plus you get that third brace - its either a rear subframe brace, or a front lower subframe brace. NICE!

and i've read all over the net, mostly american forums, that the ss autochrome stuff is not that good quality...

do a bit of reading for yourself before you buy them.

but personally i would go for those megan ones, they're different. i like that!

Ok, thanks veecee. I didn't like the look of those ss autochrome ones so I won't consider them.

I found some pics of the megan strut braces on a s13 with ca18det so they will fit. It looked a bit tight though but thats not really a problem as long as it doesn't touch. They also look pretty good. They come in gunmetal as well, I think that would look awesome!

I'l do some research and see what people think of them.

Hey guys,

I ended up winning a bid on a 3 piece set of megan strut braces on ebay. It came to $85 + $84 shipping = about R1350.

If anyone is interested here is a link to the ebay seller:
