TN FS: AutoExe F/R strut bars and member brace set

Selling the AutoExe front and rear strut bars and under body member brace set as a package. $950 local pickup throw on another $25 for ups shipped and insured.

Whole set was used for ~8k miles. All parts are included (bolts and backing plates), I do not have the instructions anymore but the underbody braces are pretty straight forward with the only odd piece being a black bracket but should be pretty easily figured out once your lined up. As far as the F/R strut bars, I have a full writeup with pictures on the install for them and trust me, compared to Autoexe's instructions (all japaneese) my writeup is going to be much easier to follow.

No cracks in any of the welds, everthing is in top notch condition only flaw in the whole set is a couple of the underbody pieces have chips in the powdercoat which is to be expected since its under the car and exposed to any rocks, road debris, etc.

Brand new everything would run 1600 or better so 950 is a hell of a deal for the full package.

I made sure to photo a couple of pictures showing the powder coating chips. The steel itself has no dents, cracks, or flaws just the powder coating on the front facing areas.









PM with any questions.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Would you be willing to just sell only the underbody brace set? I'd buy that right now if you were.

I may consider it within the next week or so. I'd really like to sell it off as a full package only have to mess with shipping, etc. once plus its a pretty good deal for the whole bang for someone who might be looking at something but don't want to blow close to 2k. I'll give you a heads up if I decide to split the set to see if your still interested.

Thanks

Sounds good, thanks for the consideration. It's either I buy your set or I wait for next year. No rush for me, but I'd like to have it now for the end of autocross, or wait for next year before the beginning of autocross is how I see it. Thanks again though.

Got any pics of this installed in your car, mainly the struts? I'd be curious to see how it actually looks in the car as well.
Rear with the fix a flat kit relocated.

If your interested and Zelse is interested, I'll split the cost in half (new there was only about a $20 difference between the two) so $500 each includes shipping and insurance. If shipping ends up being less than $25 I will refund the difference, if its more than $25 I'll eat the difference. Once payment is recieved from both, I'll get them shipped out, if one doesn't pay within say 2 days I will refund the one that did if that works for everyone. If payment could come through by this weekend, I'll have them out Monday or Tuesday at the latest with PM's containing tracking.

Thanks
Jonathan

I sent a PM to the person who was interested in the member braces. If he is I will do $500/shipped for the front and rear. Essentially I'm just splitting price in two adding 25 for the shipping so would be 500. If I can get a couple of you, where one wants the struts and the other the braces, I'll split them up. If not, you'll have to let me be stubborn for a week or two as I try to sell them off as a set and just check back when/if I end up splitting the set without a buyer for both.

member braces fell through so if anyone interested in the struts knows anyone who would go in with them for the full kit even if its to resale the braces let me know, otherwise just bare with me through my stubborness I will update if/when things change.

Thanks.

Well got tied up with a new job and the training period associated with it and have neglected updating here until now since things have finally settled down.

Going to drop the price on the full setup (front and rear strut bars and member brace set) as I'd like to get rid of it all in one pop since its just taking up room right now and I'd rather see someone get some use out of this stuff and enjoy it.

I'll do $800 local pickup, add $50 for shipped UPS insured and tracked for United States addresses. Shipping receipt will be provided, if it comes out to less than $50 I will refund the difference if it comes out more I will eat the difference. For international I will get a quote for the shipping since at 800 bucks I can't afford to have a chunk of that eaten up in some kind of international rate shipping that I am unaware of.

I'm going to give this a couple of weeks to see if I can move it as one sell. If it doesn't go I will look at splitting it up and will post prices and sell it to the first person who comes through on the money end.

Please PM with any questions or offers and I will try to respond as quickly as possible. Thanks and again I apologize for the delay in getting back to this but the way the job market has been in these parts I feel blessed just to be employed and had to make that a priority.

Jonathan
