Tein rear strut brace on NA?

Post by rosco83 »

Hi Guys & Gals,

Sorry for the noob like question but on a couple of sellers websites this is listed for Turbo models only, is this correct or will it indeed fit the NA too? Never seen any others listed as Turbo only. :-k

Was initially looking to get a Greddy, and might still, but Tein and Cusco are also on my radar.

Any help with this is much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks Jason, but i was refering to the rear one :wink:

However, i have since emailed Tein UK who have gotten back to me to state that the Turbo only note has been changed as they will fit N/A models too but a coolant pipe needs to be re-routed through the bar. They kindly sent a picture and the new supliment fitting instructions just to clarify. I'll post it here just incase it helps anybody else out :thumleft:

Cheers

surely it would be better buying a single piece one anyways? all i can think seeing the tein one is that the hinged part (and doubtless there is one on the other side) is still going to allow for up/down movement and a bit of side -to-side, no matter how tight you do up the bolt?
