Ultra Racing 4-Point Front Lower Bar

Anyone have any experience with this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ULTRA...t_15399wt_1165

To me, this bar seems to be a combination of Mason Engineering/Mini-Madness's Lower Bar and GTT Mid-Brace, but 1/2 of the total cost.

Would this be worth getting?

If it's made well it looks like a nice combo of Mason/GTT like the OP said. if someone get's one I'd really like to hear their thoughts.

Thanks for the post.

I'm modding my wife's R52...by doing the reverse. I want to brace the VERT first, because it shakes and flexes to much for my taste.

I just put in a drop-in-filter and had a one-ball mod exhaust done.

I'm taking care of the struts next with some IE Fixed Camber Plates in May.

I wanted a lower brace but everybody wants to much; X-Brace, M7 USS were over $350...OMP was $135...Mini-Madness, IE, & Mason are the same horizontal brace at $165-210...GTT Mid Brace was $127 plus $73 S/H...

I just bought the Ultra Racing 4PT Front Lower Bar from the following vendor:
NextGenTuning
602 Clinton St.
Rome, NY 13440
(630) 639-2597

The bar cost $179 plus free shipping.

They also have the 2PT Strut Bar, Rear Bar, and a 19MM Rear Sway Bar for the 1ST GEN MINI.

I'm waiting for the item as we speak and will get back to you on thoughts.

You can probably order the bar through a different dealer to get free shipping and avoid state taxes.

Go to www.ultraracingusa.com
