they are ISO certified at least and seem to be a real manufacturer, also their comparison to the OEM parts seem pretty good.

I would probably call them an off brand but not a No name ebay part. (ultra looks like a new real brand)

most of the **** products on ebay may have a name but you can never really trace it back to what company manufactured it or any official site, this isn't the case here.

I'm tempted to give it a shot.

 

No JDM ***** here man, but like you said, there are treasures on ebay, and junk.

But comparing buying a real Enkei, to buying a part that appears to be a copy of an original are apples and oranges.

just my take on things....we can move on now.

I think it's safe to say from their website etc they aren't just an ebay company.

I totally agree with you Revvin9k I dont think I would go for it if it were an 'ebay' product but I dont think it is

 

Revvin,

you bring up a good point, this fender bracing seems to have its own design different then others, it has another support which actually seems like it could be better.

I think this helps its case as being a real part and not a copy.

 

lol they also say to look out for companies that rip off THEIR products lol

 

Ahhhh, the irony.


Thank you guys for being civil with my opinions and not getting this OT.

 

No, I'm actually on your side in terms of ebay products,

its just that at this point i'm convinced they're a "legit" company

yep I've been reviewing all the info on their site and it looks like they expect to be questioned and made it all available...looks pretty legit

 

Does the UR fender brace come with one or two? lol

 

i like those fender braces....especialy the japanese version. as they have an addtional bolting point on the top brace.....not sure it will ehlp much, but the ur pieces have a nicer finish & a lot more reasonable in price.

 

good catch! i didnt notice that. i can see it being effective but i wonder if it will be more effective than the triangulation of the UR piece? though the UR does seem to come into the wheel arch a good amount upon closer inspection...





opinions?


*** also, the nagisa requires an extra hole to be drilled into the fender

"After carefully removing the fenders, the braces bolt to the door hinges holes and the forward part of the brace bolts to the unibody about even with the shock tower using one existing hole and requiring that another hole must be drilled in the unibody at this point as well."

from http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...ke-system.aspx

 

after visualizing what i think is going on, I believe the triangulated ur unit would be better at preventing the strut tower area from moving during compression of the spring / bump & braking conditions....

does the ur unit price include both the L/R pieces?

 

I sent them a message asking. Hopefully will hear back soon. FYI prices for Nagisa include both according to the images, can't imagine that UR will be more expensive.

No concern over the UR invading into the wheel well a bit? They did design it with the Evo 7 in mind too, I think that car was 17x7.5 or even 17x7 when it first came out.

 

^ I wonder if ur makes evo 8/9 specific fender braces..... i guess i could call & ask.

 

I mean Im sure they fit, I'm just a little concerned about rubbing later on, esp for cars lowered and with bigger wheel set ups
