    One for the JDM Police. What's this strut brace?

    Hello fellow roadster enthusiasts.

    A question for those in the know. Anyone know the manufacturer of this strut brace. I've agreed to buy it as never seen one like it before and it's a nice chunky design. It's from a fresh import eu so roadster so JDM. I think it maybe by a manufacturer by Arrive. Any ideas?

    This man installed his center section backwards, probably for filter clearance

    Thanks Fwdtamiya for taking the time to help out. My search hadn't revealed anything and vaguely remember seeing on on a YJ auction. It's a chunky bit of kit and looks like it was inspired by the M2 strut brace.

    Thank you.

    For the purposes of reference I picked the Arrive Strut brace up today. It is very chunky, looking really nice put together and is incredibly light weight. I have a few different strut braces (Cobalt 3 point for superchargers, Cusco, Mazdaspeed and 2 genuine Mazda versions) and this is by far the lightest.
