Master brake cylinder brace - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Be cautious when ordering, you have to issue credit card, then you confirm, a message pops up to say supplier will send mail for shipping costs whom add onto your card.

The brace is cool they responded in English, the 2 others in Japanese, which I had not clue of the amount of shipping I agreed too.

Suggest sharing the parts you have no issue with.

Brace fine on plane already and ordered last night 8pm.
The silver globes no response from supplier, I've paid
Touch up paint paid response in Japanese don't know my shipping amount.

The bulbs are a bit expensive. Possibly cause it TRD branded.

I know how you feel.
Non-tracking post is very stressful and takes forever.

Finding this out a bit late... Have 2 items in post...somewhere

Ryan86 · 02-04-2013, 04:53 AM

Good news, 3 orders I made have all arrived in SA from Japan and on the way to Durban.
Was very nervous with this site, having emails sent to me in Japanese and accepting without knowing what I was agreeing too.
One thing I do enjoy EMS is super fast and easy tracking....

Razzle · 02-04-2013, 06:07 AM

That was quick. How long did it take?

Ryan86 · 02-04-2013, 06:24 AM

EMS is normally 5 days from day of despatch to your door or post office.

Beatrush brace arrived, excellent quality. Total price R760. Will fit over the weekend. Easy installation, may need to take front wheel off to get to the holes.
Will powder coat black, don't think gold matches the engine compartment

No you don't. Just turn the wheel to the left and use a socket on an extension to hold the bolt in place whilst tightening the nut.

Took me about a 1/2 hour to do

Very slight, but noticeable all the same. Looks good in the engine bay and was only AUD$63 through Rakuten
