www.ultraracingaustralia.com compile orders every couple of months, ba gear is not held in stock but all listed stuff like Tyler has shown is available to order in. They take ages to respond to emails but are pretty helpful when they do reply. If anyone is considering an order, post up and we may be offered a bulk order discount (as their email suggested) ive put this order on the backburner for ages but will sooner or later order one of each listed piece.

They look to be ok I guess, I'm most interested In rear strut, c pillar bar, and front under 4point brace!! ( one bad thing I find is rear strut seems to not have a plate to fasten to car maybe it only attaches to one bolt? Or a 3/4 circle plate ?
Can you get me a quote on group discount order 1x rear strut brace 1x rear c pillar bar 1x front 4 point brace 1x rear lower bar

There was a thread many moons ago about them. I'd order off ebay sellers. Cheaper and quicker.

Market is flooded with fakes,parallel sites etc. Also the c pillar brace has got a bad rap for not fitting perfectly but all is needed is to elongate a mounting hole on bar. It mounts to rear upper seat belt mounting points on c pillar and looks to interfere with passengers head space! Id be happy to get them from anywhere as long as they were geniune, just to honour their efforts in r&d etc.

The 4pt lower brace hangs down so low! No thanks. And the rest of the stuff doesn't look that great to be honest - i mean the floor brace attaches with one screw each side?...

Well that subframe brace is the lowest point on my car, and that brace looks to be about 4cm high. So that's 4cm of clearance you're potentially using. True it's between the wheels so is not that much of an issue with driveways, but for any debris on the raods - you're just going to collect it with a solid clunk.
The Cusco isn't as low as the Ultra one (but it's in a different place/does a different job)

I think you were thinking about that bloke with the KMR braces (which are crap)
I don't ever recall seeing the BJ Ultra Racing braces on that forum, so please correct me if I'm wrong

Been looking into these guys a fair bit as well.
Got a quote on all the gear i needed plus postage was like 600+/-. Thats for 4 braces. I probably wont go the front 4 point brace now ive heard that, especially you matt considering all the effort you just put in to get your car low. Also from what ive been told, they wont do much cheaper for GB
