View Full Version : Fender braces Round 2!
JDM Importers 12-08-2005, 08:16 PM These are Back in Stock! They are the Best out there!
Still $109.00 Shipped!
We have dealer pricing for legit Dealers!50 Sets In!
Every Highly Modified car we Have purchased from Japan Had Fender Braces! Almost everycar with CoilOvers had fender braces! So I ask my friend that is involved with both Indycar and Vintage race cars whats up?
Then I spoke to a friend in Japan and they both had the same answer!
With coil overs or a strut bar the forces alway look for the next weakest point! On a Subaru the waekest point is the upper rail! it is pretty thin Box Rail. On a hard turn in it wants to fold over! The weak stamped factory does not hold up to the forces!
So I asked my friend to fabricate some to test, and after 4 different sets this style has been by far the best!
These a professionally welded, Braced and Powder Coated!
We have installed on GC8 and GDB and have found a noticable difference in both!
Still Priced @ Price is $109
Similar JDM version sell for Over $160!

Car vs. Driver 12-08-2005, 09:56 PM It bolts up behind the front fenders, stiffens up the front unibody for better turn in response.

JDM Importers 12-13-2005, 06:30 PM I does the same thing! But it is even stiffer! than subarus These are very popular in Japan, a company known for making the best, these are very close! To Jspeed ones!

jimbobrand 12-23-2005, 10:22 PM I got mine last saturday and I'm very impressed by the quality. Hopefully it'll warm up a little and I can install them. Two thumbs up for JDM Importers!

boxerT 12-27-2005, 06:34 PM Do fenders have to be removed for these to be installed?
Bishop 12-27-2005, 06:42 PM Do fenders have to be removed for these to be installed?
i stand corrected. see post below this..
JDM Importers 12-27-2005, 06:49 PM We can take off the interwell liner and with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet an swap them out we have done it 3 or 4 times for ourselfs and customers!

Uncle Scotty 12-30-2005, 12:08 AM I just installed mine today....good overall quality, and the install is a LOT easier than ya think ;)
I have a good many tools, including straight and offset GearWrenches and a GearRachet('shorter' than a standard 3/8" drive rachet and socket ;) )....which I used to install the JDM Importers cowl stays.
The whole install took me ~90 minutes in all, and I'm happy to report no :eek:'s or :huh:'s.
You remove the fender liner attach hardware and pull it down, out of the way... and the top of the fender does need to be unbolted and pulled back a bit---just loosen the most foreword bolt above the headlight and the rear bolt inside the door jam and remove the other 2 on top of the fender) to remove/re-install the upper foreword brace bolt....no biggie...the fender pops right back into place. Tighten all the stay bolts, in steps, to final torque...and replace all the other stuff and done. The fender bolts do NOT need much torque......no gorilla action ;)
The results are subtle but :banana:....the front end 'points' much better and on my favorite hi-speed 270° offramp I almost turned in too much :eek: because the front end responded faster than I expected and the car 'held the line' SO MUCH better all the way around:D I had to go around and do it again---faster :devil:
Conclusion: Would I buy these again....??? NO DOUBT. :D
S.G.D 12-30-2005, 01:50 AM im with scotty and his feeling on their performance even with 65 profile winter tires i felt a big difference in turn in, and how the car held the line. front end is stiffer, and alot more responsive.
i took off the fenders to install them.
JDM Importers 12-30-2005, 11:54 AM Thanks for the reveiw!
We have a couple sets left, before we re-jig and build more!
P.S. Scotty I love the :huh: :eek: when I am doing my installs! Had both those last night when installing my EVO9 JDM bumper!
Good Luck have fun ! Happy New Year! :D
