Just got the RMR lower control arm brace
Just got the RMR lower control arm brace
Here's their pic of it...
Couple of things... the production one is black painted steel, fairly heavy 1/4" thick by 1" wide bar stock. Finish was good, as for fit... 4 of the 5 bolt holes lined up fine, but I had to egg out the hole for the front passenger side bolt, a real pain for so thick a metal. The middle bar area has a "bridge" dropping down away from the downpipe for added clearance.
I like the part, but really wonder if going from a tubular style brace (very strong for the weight) to a flat bar style with just a single crossover piece (instead of the stock two tubes) is an improvement.
Just for my peace of mind, I installed the rear stock brace over top of the RMR brace. Figure I have the best of both worlds.
