I have some money burning a hole in my pocket now that I sold my rims...Anyway, i want to get a GOOD front strut brace, one that won't twist, one that's light, one that isn't hollow/weak, one that fits perfectly and doesn't hit the hood, and most importantly, one that is STIFF for my 95 240. I want to spend about $60 and under...anyone know where you can get the nismo ones for around $60? The nismoparts.com site doesn't even sell them! I've heard OBX are good, but are selling for $69? I don't think so! Too bad PDM stopped selling their braces! What does everyone out there use? It's so tempting to go with a cheap ebay strut brace, but I want the quality! Give me your opinions on what ones to get/where to get them. Thanks in advance,Marc

hahahahha. yea as long as the brace holds normally you wont be able to tell the difference between the brands. however if you want to be a pimp or somthing you can get nismo and show it off but it really doesent matter. Find one in your price range.

Excedio---Are the Pilot Motorsports the ones that Roll Hard doesn't even label on their site (ie, they just say Front STB, not Pilot Motorsports Front STB)? What is their finish like? Was there an noticeable and beneficial increase in handling?

i know they are pilot motorspotrs because the box they shipped in were pilot motorsports boxes...unless they just stuck any ol thing in a box...but i dont believe they would do that...there is a notecible (spl?) difference...i also bought my OBX shifter from them and my tokico struts...they are pretty reliable.

Hey man if you are patient you can usually find an OBX one on there for like 19.99 so if you aren't in a hurry to get it, then just keep checking there and I am sure you will find one!
