Ultra Racing on ebay

[drew12000]

Curious if anyone has purchased any of the ultra racing products from ebay? my biggest concern is getting a "fake" product.

the sellers don't have actual pics, just the ones that are on the ultraracing.com site this alone should shy me away from dealing with them. but at these prices. i'm almost willing to take a chance.

The seller's rating is over 99% with almost 700 positive feedbacks. So you should be fine ordering through the seller. Besides if you pay via PAYAL then you also have their protection.

I've only used the UR front lower bar. Below is a quick review of it from an older post

…………………………………

I have the UR lower front brace but unlike the Tanabe bar (which doesn't fit our cars) the UR is not a solid piece. Threaded center for some adjustability.

Pros:
I feel the cornering difference
Light weight
Well made
Easy install

Cons:
Hangs a little low (much lower than the Tanabe bar). You're going to scratch the shit of it if you're CB7 is really sitting low.
I wish it’s was a made with thicker steel
Can not be used with the Bisimoto header.

If you look at my run at a recent autox, you can see how low the bar hangs under my car.

Honestly, a rear strut bar is a rear strut bar. I wouldn't spend $130 on one, when a $30 Megan Racing bar will do just as well. It's functional, but not nearly as drastic as the front strut bar (and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with my Megan Racing bar there as well... since I can't get a Neuspeed bar.)

If you want to spend 3 figures on rear chassis bracing, I suggest getting a 4 point rear brace from ESP (it will essentially render your trunk useless, but it is by far the best rear chassis brace you can get.)

mmm quadrangulated brace

thanks for the info guys.

reason for going with UR bar was because of it's solid design. opposed to the adjustable or threaded bars. some have said that the solid bars resist flexing of the chassis better. and the adjustable portion of the bars were the weak link. idk. i guess there is no real proof of these claims yet. i do plan joining a spirited driving club.

esp does seem like better alternative. but i will need the use of my trunk.

[deevergote]

There's some merit to that, but honestly... most of those claims of weakness are largely due to people not adjusting them properly. Plus, the rear strut towers are much less of a flex point than the front.

Another option is to get an adjustable bar, install it, and then weld the damn thing solid!

ESP does have a solid 2 Point Rear Upper Strut Bar and it's just $139 shipped US

For roughly the same price, I'd go ESP. I'd be proud to have some of their parts on my car. To me, they're far more "real" than almost any other company out there.

I bought the ultra racing front upper and rear upper strut bars on eBay and they came in in a week, all the way from the main company in Malaysia. Having a one piece solid bar instead of some couple of pieces bar was nice. Especially with an h swap.

I like esp and ultra racing, but esp takes to Damn long to get Shit done. Ultra is packaged. Ready to go. I hate waiting for parts I already paid for.

[deevergote]

ESP is a 2 man operation, and I wouldn't doubt that its in their spare time. Ultra Racing is probably sweatshop stuff... 12 year old Malaysian kids with MIG welders. (that's total speculation. I'm sure their stuff is just fine.)

I have delt with ESP a few times, and to be honest anything you buy from the is Worth the wait!

Just my 2 cents.

They do how ever make a good product. I bought some fender braces from them and the look great.
