Hi all, I would like to improve the handling (especially the turn-in) of my Meg225. At the moment Im running on Micheline Piolt Super Sport and Cooksport Springs, so I thought maybe a Brace in front and rear could help my old girl. I would love to instal a cage - but I've to face a lot of troubles here in Austria with this mod :mad: So my question is, do you think there is a benefit with a brace in front / rear ? Is there any other solution available as the K-Tec ones ? Front: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=3759&appid=12 Rear: (plug and play) http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=4326&appid=12 I think a 3 point strut would be much better, does anyone know if this is available for the Megane ? Or something like the Ultrarace for the Clio http://www.cazanracing.co.uk/ultra-racing-clio-197200---rear-strut-bar-103758-p.asp What are your opinions ? thanks philipp
Rear people will say makes a difference but it rarely does. Not many people have a front one, Ive just fitted mine but its not on the road yet and need to do some cutting etc.
Looks good. Do you have also the rear one ? Hope you can write a little report after the first roll-out
@MJ57 maybe you can give us a little update on the rear strut I've also found this one - http://www.optimiz-access.fr/chassi...nti-rapprochement-inferieure-megane-2-rs.html Does anyone think this will improve handling of the car ? Funny thing is they have two differen rear struts, the mounting seems little bit differen ? http://www.optimiz-access.fr/chassi...i-rapprochement-arriere-megane-2-rs-1144.html and http://www.optimiz-access.fr/chassi...e-anti-rapprochement-arriere-megane-2-rs.html
the front brace is typically used when there is lots of flex in the legs. I dont think there is that much in the meg at all - hence probably not needed.
Rear brace wouldn't do anything as the shocks tops mount to the floor not the top of the arches like most other cars where my bits come down from the bar is where rear strut tops are
car looks clean as f#ck :cool: As Ric already said, bottom brace looks nice, did you notice anything ? Have you got front top & bottom and the rear brace ?
optimiz access havent got the rear one, dont really know if if feels better tbh. as it might be a placebo effect like to know if you can use the rear seats with the rear brace
You can use the rear seats with a rear strut bar. As long as you retain the back seat clips when you install the strut bar.
