i ordered one from gordon race engineering for like $100 something? i really can't remember. it took a while for their supplier to send it to them. now they're waiting on a greddy strut brace before sending it to me ;_;

charles _A_T_ gordonraceengineering.com
or turbocustomz on here.

there's also some dealer selling them on fleabay.

don't quote me on the price cause there ain't much to quote ;)

that looks like a front end brace. ask the seller.
i think that the rear braces are harder to find for some reason. maybe they make less of a difference?
trd's is the only rear offering that i know of, well, except for those dinky single bar replacements. partshippers.com has one of those and a front.

anyone doing this should have their unit powder coated before install...will save you the disapointment later.

Is this the same type of brace?
no.

those are type I and type II braces. they work on the front suspension.
the type I is useless....
the Type II replace the stock sub connectors (two short round bars) with a much better designed unit (one frame piece).
