how to prevent nismo powerbrace rust
redoing my suspension all over again and putting in the nismo powerbrace

now we all know it rusts from wear and water etcetc. i was wondering if any of you guys have put clear coat sealant (cheap from local hardware store) to prevent it or other options like powdercoating (little more money)?

powdercoating would be best.

Since the brace would be facing the elements, I concur that powdercoating would be best. Otherwise, you would have to wash and spray that brace with spray paint very frequently, especially if used as daily.

i'd say get a skid plate (PSM makes them), that way it won't get all scratched up, thus potentially exposing it to rust

Oh hell no.

That rubberized crap absorbs and holds moisture like a sponge.

Duplicolor wheel paint has proven to be some tuff shit. So is 3m under spray (non-rubberized)/.

Mine has rust specks and the car has 1,000 miles on it. Maybe they are not all created equal.

^^ exactly what my previous one had. not that the brace itself was rusting at the welds or rusting through or anything but probably mostly cosmetic...either way...just gonna spray it with a clear coat and call it a day. thanks for all the inputs

Op you mean homemade nismo powerbrace? lmao
Don't think you have to worry about it much, id be more worried about the heim joins on aftermarket tension rods first.
i had a nismo powerbrace but i sold the car shortly after.

Just let it get caked with grease = protective. lmao

You live in cali, ain't got nothing to worry about. =p
