Mine havent come yet hope they do soon because i knock off at half 4 an wont be at work to recieve them
Mine haven't arrived yet just phoned my brother at home and nothing yet...
Scratch that, reception didnt tell me they were here, woop. Busy weekend planned know
Hey Guys, we have had a busy ole time here at japspeed last few days so please bear with us and you will all receive your items before the weekend. Those of you that have got them then throw some pics up when you get them fitted!!!
regards
Paul
Got mine
Shiney, shiney. Was amazed at how light the box was, even though it's advertised as light weight it's hard to believe from the look of them just how light they are.
Will be fitting the front tomorrow for sure, rear at the weekend
Great stuff!!! Glad your pleased. These will really tighten the car up giving it much improved handling.
I must admit! I like the 200sx Gaming chair!!!
I had to put my TV on ground level and move all my surround sound system so everything faces the seat but it was worth it
EDIT: The front brace is now fitted and all tightened up, bit too cold to carry on and do the rear plus I want to keep my parcel shelf so it will take a bit to fabricate that. Will properly test them out and take some decent photos this weekend

When Mine arrive i'll post some pics up after i've whacked mine in the clave at work wrapped in some Carbon!
Threw my front one on when i went to pick the 14 up from my unit
All fitted and working beautifully, i've also done a little bit of a write up in my progress thread if anyone's interested to know how these are

Looking good Dare! Easy Fit????? How have you found them when it comes to handling?
Extremely easy to fit, bit fiddly to get a couple of the nuts on for the rear brace but that's because Nissan didn't leave much room to breathe behind that rear bench and I was wearing a big coat because it was COLD.
I uploaded a bit of a 'chavvy' video to my project thread at the weekend of myself accelerating down a very rough patch of road. When recording this I really noticed a change in how the car managed to keep putting power down, really felt like the braces were stopping the car from skipping and losing traction as much. I know the main pros of these will show up in the corners but it's too frosty to test those qualities right now
Well, after a wee while, i've pretty much finished my strut braces, just need a slight rub down and some coats of lacquer.
I didn't like the way they looked originally, and I was pretty disappointed that mine had scratches on them..However, I soon altered that, primered up the strut brace ends and gave them some coats of Gloss black, they look lovely now. I also took a belt sander at work to the braces so that the carbon would have a nice mating surface.
I've got pics of this process, but they were on my phone and looked shit...
Anywhoo, will let the pics do the talking.

Got to say, there was flex in the original items...now however, there's no movement what so ever
Harry
Thats a top job you've done there
Hi Harry,
We are sorry to hear your braces arrived scratched. However that is an impressive finish you have on them
Just a quick update, all fitted now, been for a blast, and I can honestly say they've made such an improvement, the car feels so much stiffer in the corners, more stable, and definitely helps with wheel hop.
Good times.
I've fitted mine as well but I fitted them the same time as my lowering springs, so I've gone from standard to lowered and front & back struts and oh my god what a difference!! Love it
