Carbon strut braces anyone?? : )

Windowlicker · 16-01-2009, 07:05 PM

Hi there ,

There was a thread recently http://www.cslregister.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1128
where csljimmy had seen my strut brace and wanted one for his car, as did a few others.(mine is pictured at the bottom of the above thread)
Having done a bit of investigating , it would appear that F-carbon are no more

Whilst trawling the net i found a company called" Wheel power" in calafornia.
They do a range of products called Radenergie, this company does what appears to be the exact same brace i have , but badged with their name not F carbon. http://www.wheelpower.com/outlet/pdf/RadCarbon.pdf

I contacted them , and asked them if were a quantity purchased, a sort of group buy if you like , what could they do them for, they normally rrp at $450.
This was the reply..............

Hi Nick:

Thank you for your e-mail.

We do have the Radenergie dry carbon strut brace "Racing" in stock. And we can offer you special price - $395.00 each ( min. 4 pcs )

As far as shipping, we will find the best way to ship them to UK. Are you looking for door to door service?

Waiting for your reply.

Many Thanks,

Grace

So basically if 4 of you want them, this may be an option, no idea what that price ( $395) translates to in sterling , exchange rate dependent obviously, and then shipping shared between 4 of you, but it may be an option.
Cheers Chaps.

Well im just lulling the wife into a false sense of security

Firstly the agreement of purchasing the CSL after the Evo was to go down to 2 cars and use it daily

I have since managed to completely go back on my word by ways of bribery and I know have given up my ST in exchange for a Clio

but at least it keeps the miles off my baby

A few posts on here showing my new found faith of being anti mod, should only help the cause

Then when spring comes hopefully she wont notice that it sits better, grips better sounds louder and brakes later
