Damn their components are so beautiful. I'll definitely being going for them for chassis bracing and the like if I ever go that route. Such awesome stuff

They really are high quality components...I love that they offered almost every item I was wanting and some that I didn't know I wanted... lol Definitely would recommend Beatrush products based on what I know about them to this point... more info on their actual performance soon.

Disclaimer:

**I don't autocross, drift, or drag... my review of these products will come from a spirited but safe (as can be) driving point of view. My 86 is mainly a hobby for me, a show car, and a beautiful weather driving car.**

Ok... now that I got that out of the way... I finally got my 86 back on the road this past weekend albeit it was to primarily to bed my Runduce BBK and gauge my alignment post suspension mods. My alignment was actually pretty damn good considering all the work I've done... however I will have an alignment done in the near future.

Ok... so not many twisties to report on just yet but I can say that the chassis felt solid... stiff but in a good comfortable way. I am not going to be able to narrow down which mods provided the best feel of the road because I modified my suspension quite a bit and added wider wheels and tires in one bang. However, collectively I feel the outcome will be a positive one once I really test the suspension.

I will say that I am satisfied so far with the Beatrush products I have installed and feel that once I really test my suspension that they will live up to the expectations I have for them.

more to come ...

wow, I kind of like their color scheme going on. wonder how they compare with Cusco's bracing. all I know is that all these types of braces are super expensive haha. I'm eyeing that diff bushing brace though... I wonder why there's two bolts on one bushing but nothing on the other.

Here are some shots of my Beatrush strut bar installed...

Fitment is perfect...No rubbing.

Installation is not worth writing a write-up...piece of cake.

I really have to get an alignment (even though my 86 is driving pretty straight) so I can post my experience with my Beatrush suspension setup...

Problem is I do not know who I can trust in my town to handle my car. I've called the only import shop in town to get their opinion on alignment shops but all I get is an answering machine. So I'll just have to do a little research myself.

I'm probably going to drop by Goodyear and or Firestone this week and ask about pricing but most important to me is gauging how professional and careful the staff is...I hate that I can't verify my alignment myself...

After all the suspension work I have done, the alignment was really not that off...

Time to push it a little more....
