lower bar brace?

[-RJ-]

I was browsing through ebay and came across this



You guys think this will actually help with the flexing?

Yes, I think ULTRA racing makes good parts. I saw positive reviews in some magazines. I'd like try these as well, but problem is I don't have much clearance right below subframe bushing area.

hmm its only 200 maybe i should treat myself for once

Save your money. The vert has good lateral bracing. The rocker panels have vertical reinforcements every few inches. I've had multiple mechanics comment on how stiff the chassis is from nose to rear. If you want to test it for yourself, jack the nose up and open/close the door. Most cars will have the doors catch a bit because of chassis flex. The vert is usually pretty smooth.

Now, from side to side, the chassis does need reinforcement. But that is best handled by a roll bar.

Now if you were racing your vert, I would consider those bars, but you would probably be better off just caging the whole thing anyways.

Darn it I just ordered those =[

Bright side: every little bit of reinforcing helps

indeed. I wonder if it will make a difference in everyday driving

Would it make any sense to get the rear lower bar? I know the vert is braced in the back but I just want some feedback

Aw man it doesnt fit! There is a brace that goes along the frame that the verts have that others dont. I dont think cutting this would be a good idea would it?

Those just look like a huge braces that pretty much do what replacing your sub frame braces would do.

And no don't cut into your unibody unless you are gonna take time to box it right. But that's up to you.

You might be able to sell them or trade them for something else for the 240, like wheels or whatever.

Yeah i put them up on driven. Maybe i can get a strut bar and other stuff or something

Hows your car coming along btw. I havent seen you in years

[breadbox]

It hasn't been years, but I'm good. Bout start on Steve-o's hatch... not by choice, my neighbors called the city on me, so I have to shuffle S13's around.
