Default Mance Preloading Strut Brace Group Purchase... (EDIT, LOWER PRICE;-)

One of the group purchases many of you have been inquiring about for some time is ready to go!

Mance has updated the design of this bar and we are terming the new strut bar "Generation 2" due to the following modifications from the original unit:

The bar itself features formed threaded ends versus tapped threads for a more precise between the bar and spherical ends. The bar also features more defined 19mm hex ends for preloading the setup and locking it in place with the 19mm hex jam nuts:

The spherical ends now feature a dust seal on top to prevent any dirt or water ingress into the teflon lined bearing.

The bar is shorter than the previous unit, also slimmer by 12.5% but features the same torsional resistance as with the earlier bar due to it being shorter. Also the bar includes stainless steel truss plates that will tie the outer and inner bolt bolts holes of the factory strut brace bracket together to properly distribute the load onto the bracket.

Now down to the nitty gritty, we have 20 units available to us and inquiries already coming in before we have even announced this purchase, so these will likely move quickly.

<b>Mance Preloading Strut Brace - $269.00 each</b>
(Adjustable strut brace with spherical ends, truss plates, installation hardware)

<b>Shipping - $12.00 Flat Rate (Lower 48)</b>
<b>Shipping - $24.00 Flat Rate (Canada)</b>

We will also be offering the factory B4 strut brace brackets (weld on) for the '88-'92 80, 90 and CQ models that were not factory equipped, please inquire for pricing and details.

So if you are interested in participating in this group purchase please email at <a href="mailto:contact@euro-audi-parts.com?subject=Mance Strut Brace Group Purchase">contact@euro-audi-parts.com</a>.

Cheers!

Default Alex, I think you should post this on the urS4/S6 forum! ;-)

Those cars use the same bar &amp; tangs. =)

Default **Important Note** while this bar is a straight swap into UrS4/6 the tangs are radically different..

You cannot adapt B4 tower plates into a UrS car or vise-versa. But the bar works in either application.

Default You shouldn't have to, the factory bar can be fitted with the battery in place...

but it's a tight fit. Due to the stainless truss plates and thinner bar it will sit above the battery, but your battery cover cannot stay.

Default You could try the factory B4 brackets, but no idea of the fitment, with custom brackets yes...

you could fit this on a 4000 likely, but we have no experience with this.

Cheers,
