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.

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
