Chassis Braces??

Who's using what? any benifits to stiffness?

I'd like to tighten up my car.

thanks

I got an STB, honestly, I can't remember if it's doing anything, it's been on my car so long.. I think it made a differance when I put it on.

I've heard of some people putting X braces, chassis rails etc, but unless you're really hardcore tracking I think the results are minimal

well, all we've got on the FC are front and rear STB's... and MAN is that car flat! I gotta say it far outperforms my MX-5 in the slalom.

unfortunately, we installed the bars while upgrading the shocks/struts from stock... so the difference was HUGE... just dunno how much of it is the bars. Tho, i can attest just from jacking up various corners of the FC and seeing how the whole chassis reacts... the chassis is far more rigid than my mx-5 to begin with...

They make a big difference in rigidity.. and for the price, it really can't be beat. A front and rear STB will really tighten up your suspension.

If you can get a good deal on a set, go for it!

Makes a HUGE differance man.. when I put mine on it was like night and day. Really made the car feel solid, better turn it, more stable on bumps.

For the money you can't go wrong.
