Hi all,

Just wanted some feedback on front and rear strut braces for an EP3. Im looking to purchase something affordable, iv seen that the prices to these mods can vary from cheap, affordable to very expensive.

Whats are the decents ones that are selling for a reasonable price which wont dent my bank balance too much.

thank you. (ps. apologies if this post is in the wrong section).

Just look on tegiwa site for braces,they are all copies but without the price tag of brand name ones!

EP3s have a rear strut brace already. Personally I think any strut upgrade is either minimal or noticeable in a placebo-effect kind of way, but does add a bit of glam to the car if that's what you're after.

You may have to scour the likes of the For Sale section, or eBay and the like.

Quick glance at prices for the front:
1) DIY job strut: < £40
2) E-Tech strut: ~£50 second hand
3) Tegiwa strut: ~£95 new (ask them nicely and they'll give you a discount code)
4) J's Racing strut: ~£1,000,000 new

Take your time through the forum though, there's loads of info, sources and things people sell that could potentially help you

nice one guys, ill start with the research but the next mod or upgrade is the exhaust. My one is soon to die so will need replacing.

Forget a front brace, completely pointless as the front turrets are so close to the bulkhead, spend the money elsewhere.
