Skid Plates

ilikepie · 03-09-2006, 11:39 AM

I plan on rallycrossing my 05 sti this year and Im having some trouble finding a skid plate for the rear diff. I know I can get the front from rallyarmor. Anyone know any websites where I can get the rear? Also do you reccommend having anything else.

i don't know of anyone that makes a rear skid plate. i do know that companies like prodrive make rear diff. covers/protectors.

Cover/skid plate what ever its called :P

i bought my Prodrive Rear Diff protector from RallySportDirect and I love it. Here's the link from their old GB: http://iwsti.com/forums/showthread.p...rive+rear+diff

the diff cover is much smaller than the front skid plate and only protects the rear diff. are you looking for something that's comparable in size to the front skid plate?

here's a link with a pic of the prodrive piece:

The prodrive read diff cover is exactly what I was looking for. I think this rallycross looks fun!

i, too rallycross, i have both the front skid plate from ipdusa and the prodrive rear diff. if you are looking for EVEN more protection, there are companies (well one that i know of, at least) that will sell up to 3'x6' urethane (just like the rallyarmor mudflaps) that you can attach to the bottom of the car...it's really useless. if you gey real serious, check out UMS. they make carbon-kevlar pritection for many rally cars and such. have fun, it's a blast.

Primitive: http://www.writerguy.com/primitive/skid.htm if you are serious.

^^^^ipd's is the same thickness, but looks MUCH better, but he has a front plate, and the rear diff guard is cheesy (primitive's) ums's carbon kevlar diff is just $100, much cheaper than any other, but prodrive's is the coolest

Yeah, I know, I've had the ipd front skid plate for over a year. Didn't notice a rear which is what the original poster wants....and FUNCTION over looks if you rally...the primitive offers more protection than the prodrive...and at $100, the same price as the ums...again, he says he's going to rally so he needs something solid......Primitive also makes a carbon/kevlar skid plate.
