Thanks.....I had some braces, paid someone to make brackets, that was about 2-3 months back, still not done, seems I will have to try these and then go and brake some knees to get the brace back and the money I spent..

Guys there are such a vast number of braces available for our cars on ebay, why don't we just do a group buy.

Most are in 3-piece sets and range from $39 right up to $300+

I'd be game for a GB. Will post some pics soon.

Shipping is a problem.

I made mine for just under a grand, best money spent.

I got shipping quotes for $40 - $52. On a Group Buy I'm sure it will work out well for everyone.

Here are the ones I'm interested in:

$99 front and rear CF set for S13

$69 each for aluminium front and rear braces. S13/S14 both available:

The carbon ones are $99 a SET!

The alu is more expensive at $69 each so $138 a set.

There are cheaper braces but these are good quality ones.
