Ultra Racing Brace group buy

Absolutely mate, a proven approach by all the open teams in the World Time Attack series. They all say that proper bracing and suspension geometry, upgraded brakes, aerodynamics and tyres are far more important than power figures for getting your lap times down.

Well I lack the power so will rely on suspension and enthusiasm to get me around.

Brakes will also be sourced over the coming month (sticking with standard sized gear, but high temp pads and better rotors). Getting time to fit it is another matter to deal with.

Yes and you and your enthusiasm make it look easy

I don't suppose you would be interested in professionally made custom designed carbon fiber front splitter would you?

The increased rigidity should also make running semi-slicks a more viable option too.

There's nothing to stop you running semi-slicks with a stock chassis. Getting the most out of them, though...

rely on suspension and enthusiasm to get me around.

Something seems familiar about that approach

Can anyone enlighten as to the more beneficial braces to do? Which ones will the Polo benefit most from?

thanks

Check out this ebay link for their products. There's good illustration towards the bottom of what some of the things do.

Rigid chassis = good.

From the whiteline website:
You can never have too much chassis stiffness.
Weight aside, the more the better. Chassis bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body or chassis flex. In fact, it helps every component in the suspension system do its job properly. etc.

Upper strut brace - 3
Rear strut brace - 2
Lower front member brace - 7
Front sway bar - 2
Middle lower member brace - 4
Rear lower member brace - 6
Rear sway bar - 1
Rear upper strut brace - 3

isn't that the 'rear strut brace' means the 'Rear upper strut brace'

Yes I should fix that and also consider giving up the crack

Thanks mate!

I'm def up for the front lower brace and rear lower brace.
I think I'll run a whiteline front sway, unless the UR comes in at the same price.
Anyone know how the rear upper strut brace fixes? That's the only thing stopping me at the moment, need to know where it goes

Thanks for that man. Very handy.
