UR Front lower 4-point brace - Gen 5 Camrys (Gen 2 Solara?)

[Mr_Krispy1183]

Hey guys,

Don't know how many of you venture over into the Gen 1 section, but I recently was the guinea pig for a suspension piece made by Malaysia-based Ultra Racing who surprisisngly makes quite a few pieces for our cars. I was a guinea pig in the sense that the 4-point bar I bought was built for the JP/Asia-spec Gen 4 Camry, so it was a shot in the dark for me to buy it, and luckily it bolted up perfectly to my Gen 1 Solara!

Now, as for relevancy to you Gen 2 guys, there is a similar (and much cooler looking) brace available for the Gen 5 Camrys, pics here: http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Bars.asp?ID=2568

So hopefully, with any luck, this should be a direct bolt-on suspension piece for you guys.

As far as the benefits I personally can vouch for the bar on my Solara:

-As I first drove around the car felt more secure, stable, controlled, stiff, and durable.
-Cornering has improved drastically; there is obviously still lean-in, but not nearly as much as stock (Combining this with an RSB would be a big plus!)
-Turning longer sweeps have become even more fun and sporty
-Going over uneven pavement has improved to the point where you don't have to tense your whole body in anticipation of whats ahead; it's much more composed

Just figured I'd pass the info along.

I actually did a google of the part number you gave us (UR-LA4-366) in your original post and came up with this thread at TN. Its about the strut bar and I know somebody on there has tried the lower brace on the gen 6.

Actually, after searching around the UR site more, it appears the brace I posted above might be relegated to fitting on the Asia Spec Camry that is a bit more different than our US Gen 5.

Compare this car
to this car

In seing that, I saw that there was another category for the ACV36 chassis that has different parts for it (a different 4-point brace being one of the)

I get the feeling this one would be more suited to Gen 2 Solaras seeing as the car in this picture is much more reminiscent of the US-spec Gen 5 (ACV30, which the Solara is based on).

^^ That looks beefy

[Mr_Krispy1183]

^True. Mine's built the same, just that the 2 outer mount points connect to make a trapezoid. I think it's just the angle of the stock photo UR uses that makes the Gen4 bar look more anemic and puny.

haha nice, I'll be getting the brace for my camry.

Okay - so who's gonna be the Guinea Pig for this bitch on a Gen 2 Solara?

C'mon guys - I had a major fukkup with the Whiteline FSB (ask Milton who helped me with that bitch both install and un-install!)

[Mr_Krispy1183]

^Cmon PXL, do it! This bar wouldn't be nearly as complicated as the RSB (although I understand your reluctance).

[PXLpainter]

I have Zero ($0) funds right now, so it's not going to happen any time soon. Too many other things I need to replace/repair before putting any more into mods right now.

hey guys, i have the 2004 camry pretty much same chassis are you gen 2s. My 4 pt bar is on the way. I will take pics when i get it in

[anwagbo3000]

so i am searching the site and do not see any prices, i might want to be the little piggy on this one, but i need a price and i can not find any prices of it

[Mr_Krispy1183]

^Ultra doesn't do business with the public. The retailer I bought the bar from was evan@nextgentuning.com Evan Carollo at http://www.nextgentuning.com. He's good peoples.

[v6secamry]

yeah i order my bar from evan also. good guy

[Mr_Krispy1183]

^Just out of curiosity v6se, which one did you purchase, the square one or the 3/4 trapezoidal one? I'm still not clear which would be a sure fit for our (US) Gen 5s.

[v6secamry]

i purchase the first one you posted. evan said that was it. I know the gen 6 camry(07+) use that bar also
