Micro Image discussion thread

Looking to get the front and rear lower braces and the anti roll bar.

My questions are:

1) Why is the anti roll bar so much more than the front and rear lower braces?

Versa front lower brace
Price : $99.00
and
Versa rear lower brace
Price : $99.00
VS
Versa 16mm rear sway (anti-roll) bar
Price : $149.00

2) The anti roll bar looks pretty simple, just a bar running across the rear beam axle
suspention. Does it help that much?

Fun Thread... I have all their braces...

The reason I think the Versa 16mm rear sway (anti-roll) bar is more is due to the improvement. There is a HUGE seat in the pants feel. I will go on the record and say, It should be one of your first mods to do the the Versa.

The one that is not installed yet is the rear lower brace. On my Sedan, the exhaust hits one of the bars. I have to get a new set of bolts and space it out ~1/2in. After that it should be fine.

I have Been VERY happy with the Trunk brace, lower front and 16mm rear sway (anti-roll) bar. I also have the DC sports strut brace also.

the sway bar is more because i think it is sprung steel.

i would suggest ALL the ultra racing braces



not ultra racing, but just as refference


and good tires, especially if you plan on autoxing.

Thanks for the info so far guys.

Just to clarify, Micro Image is the retailer and Ultra Racing is the manufacturer?

also, lets hear more reviews on the braces

i received my braces from Garm recently (thanks Garm) and am waiting for warmer weather to install them. i have ramps i will use to raise the vehicle.

i also ordered teh ROOM BAR from Ultra Racing to complete the braces.

i am looking forward to feeling the outcome when all are installed.

question: do we use the existing bolts for the installation of the front and rear lower braces? i did receive harware for the sway bar, but none for the 2 lower bars.
