    Tump:

    Front tower braces are kinda difficult with the C43. There are alot of electronics and crap in the area to mount the bar.

    Has anyone figured a way to bypass the setup to make the front bar work?

    Tump43: I delt with Wiechers directly..
    Wiechers sport
    u can get into contact with who I delt with.. Her name is Jennifer Krapitz and her email address is jennifer.krampitz@wiechers-sport.de
    good luck.

    JRE: my strut braces came with a bracket to relocate the throttle cable lower down.. I would think it would also work on a C43.. but who knows.. she can tell u if it will work on a C43 or not.

    We've tried that bracket but no luck. Who knows maybe this time they modified the bracket. The first batched was just based on an empty engine bay w/o thinking that there might be other things that would be on the way where you gonna mount the strut.
    So I was thinking that they came to theior senses that they have to use a model car that came out of the factory and not a
    skeleton model.

    So... how does it work?

    Do you actually notice any difference in cornering?

    How heavy were the parts?

    Dyno charts are cool... but trap times are proof. My Evo keeps me happy now.

    Honestly... I dont know!! I dont really notice any difference when going hard into the corners, plus the fact I cant remember what it felt like before I put them on!! who knows.... maybe a difference but not super noticable!!

    And as for weight.. they weigh nothing!! all alluminum. the rear one is especially light.. theres hardly anything to it!! the front one is a nice piece.. but still doesnt weigh much at all.
