Default tanabe knock off

why don't people spend time and money R&Ding other products for the car instead of making the same product as other companies. I can't stand the fact that people buy products from a company that doesn't deserve to make money off someone else's ideas.



GO BUY TANABE PEOPLE!

How about you dont buy either, because the Tanabe (and therefore this one as well, since it seems to be an exact copy) are terrible designs. It will sit way lower then neccessary, you will scrape it on everything and likely bend it given a long enough timeline. Most importantly though, it does nothing for your handling IMO. I noticed zero difference but a whole lot more annoyance.

If you have a stock ride height car and money burning a hole in your pocket, then go for it. Otherwise, just say no.

Yeah, looks like a Tanabe brace to me. I'd just buy the real thing but I already scrape my GT Spec so bad I didn't want to spend the money on another brace that sits lower.

What I usually do is remove it when I drive it around town and slap it back on when I am going to the track. Probably why my brace looks so brand new

Haha, nice. I don't want to do all that extra work. But still, I pull into a parking lot with any sort of rise to it and scrape in front of everyone and it's not cool, . If I take the underbody brace off, it's staying off. That's why I just leave it on and scrape the **** out of it.

okay I kinda cheated. I have a daily car which I drive most of the time. So I have plenty of time to remove the bars. Probably work one bolt a week haha. I think this year alone, I only been to 5 events. I didn't bother to go during the summer but hopefully return during fall and winter.

As far as Tanabe quality they're Look at what SpoilsofWar did to it.
