Where does the rear strut brace fit to ? Is this easy to install like the front ?

[edit] found pic in this thread http://forum.altezzaclub.org.au/index.php?showtopic=1584

I am interested in getting some struts for my new ride, I am in Wellington also. When are they expected to arrive in ?

I emailed someone at Rutherford & Bond Toyota in Wellington also to see if they can get some TRD struts, from the Toyspeed forums. Will see what the reply there is :)

[Edit]Found this site www.trdsales.co.nz which is TRD parts in NZ

Once you join the club you have access to the VIP Members Garage section. In there xero has done a step by step installation with pics or his rear bar. Looks clean and easy.

Let us know how you get on with your enquiries. Did you email that 'Mr Revhead' guy?

Here are a bunch of pics of the front bar http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRD-Strut-B...bayphotohosting

Yeah I get paid tomorrow, so will flip in the $$ for the club membership then :)

From the pics, it doesn't look all that complicated to fit either towerbar, so not too worried.

And yeah, I emailed Warrick aka Mr Revhead at Rutherford and Bond, who noted his flatmate is an AltezzaClub member :ph43r:

Which begs the question, why Mr Revhead hasn't posted here offering decent prices on parts ? :blink:

Haha! I can't see them being able to offer anything better than our other dealers.

Certainly you guys down South should be able to get the same -30% we get from Manukau or North Shore or Giltrap.

I've passed money onto Warrick for other members buying stuff, but I haven't bought anything from him.

Well, possibly not, but no harm in looking around :)

The good thing is that R&B are local to me, so easy to pick up etc :P

I have talked to Ken form Kinway Motorsport. The prices are:

Front Strut - NZ$285.45
Rear Strut - NZ$252.50

If we have 5 or more people we can get a further 5% off that price.

The cost including shipping for a front and rear strut brace is NZ$678.50. This makes shipping (from Hong Kong) on one set NZ$141.50, seems a lot to me, I don't know how reasonable that is?

Where we are going to save money is probably on shipping. Since we would ship to one address and have most people collect it, we can split the shipping cost over a few people. I'm happy to arrange a courier for you mapple if you are keen.

What do you guys think?

Still interested?

Andrew

If you guys are not in hurry. I would suggest you to use Surface Service which is a lot of cheaper than Air service. It also come with tracking number service, so you can track it while it is on the way

Not right now, interest seemed to be pretty low and I need to get some money together again.
