Kia Cee'd & Pro_Cee'd Bracing Bars

[Stelios....]

Hi to all from Greece...

This is my ProCeed tuned to make my driving hours funnier....
Cornering has rised to another level....





Also a great visual add-on



All of the bars are handmade,custom for our cars and do ana amazing job on the street....(i did't pay a fortune too...)

Would like a larger version of the first photo mate, showing the whole under side.

That top brace under the bonnet looks really good, very well made bits of kit byt the looks, and love that orange colour too.

So, how does it handle now, much less roll on corners I bet?
Do you feel every damn bump on the road now?

A friend did all the bracing to his Astra GTE years ago (early 90's) and that thing absolutely flew round corners

No roll on corners....It feels like i just changed tyres and got a suspension kit!

The factory suspension sucks,so i needed something better....
Those bars offer pure adrenaline for sure...

I had my car lowered with springs only,so it was stiff enough...
After i installed all of these,the suspension noise lowered a lot and i noticed a smoothier passing through bumps!
I don't regret it at all...

Here are the pics..

Very interesting indeed...
I was thinking about buying a thicker sway bar for the back, to prevent the understeering that the ceed has.

Where did you get them?

ASP_tech Reinforcement
A friend of mine is the mechanic behind the firm...He is going to release them through ebay soon i think...

The back is like this...


(the photo is old,as the lower bar was re-built with increased space from the exhaust pipe..._

Looks fantastic mate! Job well done by your mate

Could that lower rear bar not sit above the exhaust instead of below it? Looks like there's space up there, but maybe it wouldn't work as well or something?

I think he gave it a try,but problems occured + I liked the fact it was noticeable from behind hehehehehehe

I intended to get them from a wel known brand but there where numerous problems..
1.They do not exist :-)))
2.They would cost me about 600euros + postage...
3.I wanted to test them before i buy them
4.I wasn't aware that a friend of mine was into racing businesswith rollcages,bars etc...

So i took the decision to make them from scratch...And here we are...

ps.They are fully made from aluminum( not the commonly used aluminum...) and not iron...


They all weight together only 2,7kg...

[dubster]

That's a cool cross section, like the fact they are not just round section tubes.
Super cool mate, and ok I'm with you on the 'visible from behind' look

May be a stupid question but...
It looks like they just bolt on to existing bolt points under the car, no extra fittings needed. Am I correct?

[AyJay]

Im guessing longer bolts would be required?

ULTRA RACING Chassis Strengthening Technology
They were the first ones to do this... probably a bit more expensive.
