Strut Braces

[Fiat]

Hi Guys,

I am new to Strut braces and wonder what would one do for curiosity sake and what benefits holds to day to day driving with abit of speeding on weekends and clrear roads... I drive a front wheel drive car and have an average driving speed of about 70Km/h. Also can a strut brace be custom done by anyone?

Cheers!

reduces chasis flexing, so stability around corner and at high speeds, maybe

[JadeyBlitzen]

in plain english that means, sharper turn in, better grip through the corner, and more tire wear

Well first of all don't worry about the Price coz we all are AL members!!! But you have to buy a strut brace of your choice from anywhere which we would customize & fit it to you. We could consult you on where to buy them too. So lemme know if you need one done.

Hi mishiran,

Just how much are we talking about? just to have an idea abt the pricing for budget purpose... I hear aluminium is much prefered due to it's light weight... And where can one get a strut brace from? any specific place?

Thanks & Cheers!

Yeah, you can get strut bracers from Euro nippon... Well we can custom fix it to you around 3 to 5K professionally.

Speaking of Fiat. We just picked up a 132 2000cc GLS.

GTAm knows the car.

Looking forward to keeping up with the Alfa boys!

Congrats Milindu. The body was styled by Bertone. Was tempted a few times by this car myself. Even went for a test drive! Luckily sanity prevailed.

Devinda you're spot on. There was a Supercharged option with 135bhp as well. However the 132 is more of a Luxo model with a soft ride.

The GLS came with factory Air con, PS and P/Windows. The coolest part of this car though are the sun shades. Milindu why don't you elaborate.....

afaik Milindu's family has had Fiats for Decades!

so its probably one of the rare cases not attributable to GTAm's evangalism of sorts

The car arrived a few days back. It runs well with almost everything in working order. A bit of tidying up to do with the cosmetics.

Supposed to pump 112bhp according to Wiki.

Its an odd shade of blue which we might consider changing somewhere down the line.

Will post pictures soon.

I think he mixed the blue with the left overs from the Fiat 600 and the 1100 that he did up before. Anyway its quite close to the original colour if you look beneath the door cards.
