[tplociniak]

I was searching vortex for UNIbrace threads when someone mentioned Ultra Racing, I checked out there stuff, seems interesting, anyone have any experience with their parts? Link to the website I found selling the stuff

These subframe braces are pretty interesting! They look pretty well made from what I can see.

Anyone that is really low though may have trouble with scraping haha.

That's true and a good point especially with the front cross member.

I would like to know how that front brace would work in conjunction with the UNIbrace XB? The prices are pretty good as well

The trade off with extra bracing has to be extra weight. Wonder how heavy these pieces are?

I ordered all three braces a week ago. Will do a full pic review when they get here. Including measuring flex.
There were none in the States so it will take a few weeks to get here.

Uni Brace, although awesome, the UB won't fit my car as Plac has shown. I also have the UR DP with resonator and it hits the brace.
Ultra Racing brace should fit with my resonator.

I will still get the Uni Brace XB rear brace though as I believe the car can really benefit from bracing there!

They probably aren't too heavy. Looks like they're made from steel which is definitely heavier than aluminum, but they probably are much stronger for the same thickness.

Somone get these to do some R&D for us. I had bracing similar to this on my EVO old and it helped very much. Might rip some stuff apart if you get into a crash though.

Do you have any information on the steel sizes they are using, thickness, diameter, steel type?

subscribed.......wondering about fitment of the center section as well as I have the UR Turboback as well.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATION & DESIGN

Every materials used are carefully selected to ensure the best performance and safety. The brackets are made of 4mm to 5mm steel plates, while the hollow steel tubes and oval tubes are of 1.2mm to 1.6mm thickness. These materials are selected to ensure the bars are rigid and strong to maintain constant geometry at all times, yet safe enough to crumble during an impact for safety reason

They are on the way!

I'll start a new thread with full install pics and measurements when they get here.

You're welcome! :thumbsup:

It should be interesting once they arrive and get thoroughly reviewed.
