Did u order direct from grimmspeed? How much was postage?

Captain Snooze · 09-13-2013, 08:08 AM

I took part in the group buy; I no longer have the breakdown of cost of bar and freight. It was AUD$199.91 in total at the time. You could go through the motions of filling out the order form on their web site and see if it will generate a freight charge.

Fizz · 09-13-2013, 12:00 PM

Thanks. I just did and shipping comes to around US$60...which makes the total around AUD$250.

I emailed carmods about them and they'll have some on the shelf in about 4 - 5 weeks apparently.

@Chojin9. I feel it's mad a great difference.

The install took literally <5 minutes. The longest part was dialing the torque wrench into the required 12lbs.

So first I took the car for a spin around the streets could notice a little sharper turn in.

Later that afternoon I took it up to my local twisty roads. This is where you could definitely tell that this was designed well right from the beginning.

The car now feels more solid through the corners. I can feel that I am holding the same line without having to keep dialing the corner in with input from the steering wheel.

The car holds the line well when on and off the go pedal this was my main issue with the car from the start. Mid corner getting on and off the gas it would change the line greatly. Now it holds closer to true.

All and all great mod and I would recommend this to anyone that likes to do a lot of twisty road driving in their 86/BRZ.

Stole this from my blog post.

i installed mine not long ago. the car feel planted and more stable around the corner. Well worth it and i have never thought it would make such a huge difference.
I got it thorough the group buy and organised a one address only shipping for QLD members. it worked out $147 landed. i have asked about this on FB pages but no one was keen so...i guess It was pretty good.

$250? WOW!...insane...even at that price is worth it.

ZZT86 · 09-23-2013, 08:26 AM

A mod for about $200 that has such a positive effect is definitely worth it !
