again...

there is a type one brace that is a two point. it goes between the two control arm bolts forward of the front wheels.

there is the type two brace that is a four point brace. it goes from the engine cradle to the unibody behind the front wheels.

which brace do you want to talk about???

 

see the post above this...

they do make a four point brace for scions. (type 2 brace)

they make a two point (type 1)
they make a mid chasis (two point).
they make a rear frame connector (8 points of contact...)

 

I'm aware of the Types of braces. What I meant to ask was does Greddy make a type-2 (four point) front brace for the XB?
I see that the Greddy rear brace is a mid-chassis brace. The Greddy pics for these braces are somewhat misleading as it looks like a rear brace(unless that's what they consider it to be).
Who makes the rear 8 point brace for the XB?

 

tanabe makes one as well.

also camp 1320- can you tell a difference with those? im thinking of getting those, the tanabe 4 point brace, and a whiteline sway.

 

what you are looking at is a greedy type 2 (front lower arm bar) it is a four point brace. it is a direct replacement for what is there. the two bars bolting in at 4 points.

Greedy has been using the wrong names considering how many braces are avail for us. they list front and rear braces. when really they are front type 2 and mid chassis.

the 8 point is trd. is is really for the yaris/echo. and the xB needs two holes drilled to make it work.

 

Who has an 8 point rear brace on thier XB? Please post some pics.

 

search is your friend....

This is a pic of the one offered on eBay. I got it for about 60 bucks shipped.




I'm running on bags and drive low so I had to grind down the cups around the mountings.

 

how do you like that one i've beent told its a megan.

 

Does it come with mounting bolts or do you reuse the stock ones?

 

looks very much like the cusco, except for where the slanted bars come in before the cup. cusco's welds right onto the cups for all 4 bars.

 

I'm not sure whether it's a Meagan or not but I like it.

The stock nuts are used to mount it.

 

well. does it perform good? notice anything?

 

some come with new bolts...some will re-use the stock bolts.

you would really have to beat on the car to feel any benifit from this.it might make YOU feel better knowing that you did something nice to your car.

 

^^^^^What he said.

 

hehe yeah. go to your local park or big open track when it's relatively free of people and cars. do a few hot laps. you'll notice how the ride sits a lot flatter through the corners up to a point.

 

i know that ever since i've had it installed the car feels more solid when hitting large bumps but that's about it.

 

so what's the census about the greddy rear frame brace, is it worth it or not?

 

total waste of good money....go for it!
