Would anyone be interested in a pair of these. They will retail for around £120 per pair.
If your interested in a pair let me know and I'll get 5 lots over into stock.

ULTRA RACING 3-Point Fender Bar: Toyota MR2

As most of the vehicle’s front chassis over hanging is designated to carry the vertical loads from the front suspensions, it is vital that this part of the chassis is strong enough to take the bounce and rebound force of the suspension. Else, the effort of a good suspension will lose its meaning if the chassis absorbs all the forces from the suspension and not letting the suspension does what it suppose to do.

Therefore, these high quality 3-Point Fender Bars strengthen and reinforce these essential areas of your car and help maintain the suspension in position from all kind of vertical loads.

As a matter of fact, Fender Bars come as a standard feature on most of the high performance vehicles such as MITSUBISHI EVO and SUBARU WRX. Now, you can have the same feature on your car too!

Advantages of the fender bar:
Improve handling, stability at high speed and cornering, hence safer driving.
Provide a better braking and stopping performance.
Reduce NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness).
Increase stiffness of vehicle front chassis.

Ben excuse me for being a bit of a noob but does this mean that if fender bars were fitted on a standard road going MK2 with 17" or 18" wheels it would improve the ride as it can be a bit harsh when using larger non-standard wheels.

While these bars will stiffen the chassis,i think they do not have an immense increase in ride quality or performance. This is one of those things you do after youve done everything else. Every bar you add will stiffen the chassis but im wondering if this adds any noticeable performance increase. And a stiffer chassis usually doesnt add to the ride quality..

No offence to carbenfibre ofcourse, these guys have some great products, and i might be completely off here but just my 2 cents

I can imagine that these will add front-rear rigidity, over left-right like an ARB would.

If my car wasn't done, I'd definitely have a set!

Yeah but youve got a 100000000bhp car with all the goodies you can get. If you own a standard mk2 with bigger rims, is it really worth it? And is a stiffer front really going to be less harsh?

Well, depends on a lot of factors - like the spring rates, rebouds, balance, etc.

I think they're a great item, though.

I never fitted mine but I read a few reviews by guys in the states before buying them and it was all positive.

I agree Johnny and TBH and as the price wouldn't exactly break the bank it worth a go at some point. Would be a real result to be able to run 18" rims without having your nuts in your guts.

I've just bought Daves from him. I've been after a set for a while, now I've got them I can fit them, along with your fibreglass wings Ben which i've had sitting about for a year now, lol.

Ultra has an underbrace that stiffens up the front carriage even more too. Combination of the two does wonders against front end twist, especially on t-bars.
