Strut bar listing? DCSport discontinued. Need another one - Toyota Yaris Forums

TRD.RiC · 11-27-2010, 09:00 PM

I have an 09 Yaris hb RS. I am looking to buy a set or strut bars but DC Sport that I was looking into is now discontinued. I went to a local speedshop payed the price and they called me a week later saying it is discontinued.

Now I'm trying to find a decend set for the front/rear upper strut and maybe some chassis brace as well.

What i found.

GT spec ... doesnt look like quality parts... and I can't find a official website

Ultra RAcing... I had those on my Paseo and i bent the **shit** of of them It wasn't even funny and when I wrote them about the problem of there weld breaking they told me it is not for extreme use..... Ok so we buy upgrades for cars so we can't go at the track? so I dont really want to buy from them again

Crown_kits... doesnt look like quality parts either... No official website

Tanabe... Only as the front one from wut i can find

Anyway I want a good quality part and no i dont want to pay 500$ from rhdjapan for a cusco bar.

C-ONE? its good stuff! :P

im using c-one front and rear struts, bumper bar (gold piece in pic2), underbrace, with the ultra racing 3 point side braces, and trd sway. couldnt be happier.

the ultra racing 3 point side brace took ALOT of hits while bottoming out alot in NYC, and its still in one piece...hell i accidently flew thru a raised pot hole, and it took a nice beating, but in one piece (cant say the same for the frame its mounted on...alot of headaches and cussing straightend most of it out)

Absolutely nothing wrong with Ultra Racing products. I race regularly and have never had a problem. They are constructed just as well and in exactly the same way as other bracing is.

Purchase from a company that provides good after-purchase service and you won't have the problem you experienced again.

Also available is Nitto front and rear upper strut/shock bracing.

Here are all of our bracing options on one page:

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me -- happy to ship to Canada, too.

Never had any problem with my Ultra Racing product either. As far as I know, Ultra Racing is a big player in major kei car racing circuits in and around Asia. I'm pretty sure if they were an inferior product, they wouldn't have that kind of status or use.
