Do Fender braces work?

Do these things really work?

A friend of mine is considering doing a group buy on these Nagisa fender braces, and is wondering if there is any demand in the EVO community for these?

I am considering getting a set, but i need to know how/if these work? Can i go wrong for around 220 bucks?

Shoot jplgsx on here a PM...He has them on his car and loves them...after talking to him about them I have added them to my mod list...He told me that his toe, no matter what he did on the alignment machine (he works at a chassis performance shop) it was always a 1/2 degree off from the left to right side...once the fender braces were on there he said they lined up perfectly and less play in the front of the car...

That's a really weak part of the chassis, and they are worth every penny and then some. Billy @ KamiSpeed also has them, I think he's got one left in stock too.

I would like to know as well, maybe we should try it? EVO fenders are flares, if this does not flare with the fender then I would assume yes, if it follows the flare no.

I had them on my Impreza. Folk swear by them in the Subie community.

The ones we are refering to are the same brand, Nagisa above, Kamispeed just sells them. You need to give them a call as they aren't likely on the website.

Hey I need to replace my left fender do you have the steps needed to install these? I would assume it's the same as replacing one since you have to remove the fender to install
