Fabricating chassis braces
#31
Oh, and while I highly doubt many of these brace will actually effect lap times, what would be cool to see is some videos that show the movement before the brace is tightened.
A buddy of mine had a brace in the suby that sorta mimicked the Evo brace and people argued if it did anything. So he took this video with two of the bolts removed to show how much the chassis was flexing in an autox run. After that, everyone wanted the brace. I would certainly suggest figuring out how to do the same even though I know its tough being under the car. That would go a long way in validating the usefulness.
You may be able to simplify things by creating maybe a droop test with 3 corners on stands and measure the sag with each part added individually. And then maybe with adding each in order of effect from the first test.

Its just another small percentage increase in body tuning
Its a worth while addition IMO

Oh i made some for my car but there was so much interest on these that i decided to make some to see what happens. People really showed their support. Im honored. I will be selling my center brace that i made and i may make a couple of the side arms. Some people showed interest in those. I may make more sets of the fender braces but it will be to order if theres enough interest in them.
