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.

yeah, mine is rusted up too.
they put the same thin cheap paint on it as they do our cars...lol

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).

mine is, as well, rusting. It kind of sucks to see the brace like that, but its a little to late now.
