If you've eyed our rear X-brace which was more cost effective than the Laguna Seca brace but still required a rear seat delete you either didn't want to do or did but didn't want to pay the cost of the Boss parts, we now have an alternative that not only lets you keep the rear seats in place, but is much more effective as an actual brace.

Our new Steeda Rear Chassis X-brace mounts to the rear shock towers instead of attaching to the sheet metal behind the rear seats. This design is more effective and distributes the loads between the rear shocks, springs and the chassis, and not just the sheet metal of the vehicle. The result is brace that is much more effective at chassis deflection reduction with improved suspension compliance over a sheet metal mount design, and did I mention you get to keep the rear seats?

These are in stock now and ready to ship.

 

Can this be used on a 2006 GT Vert Automatic?

 

Ive always wondered about the potential benefits of these...seems to me on panhard rod axles all the lateral loads are pretty inline with the floor, and tying to the shock towers would add little? front tower braces are usually curved too, seems like the 'bow' would just bow up/down if the towers actually tried to move...has anyone ever tried measuring shock tower/rear wheelhouse deflection under actual abuse situations? some of these look pretty neat, but I really dont want to add weight without benefit...hoping one of the vendors might have actually rode with some linear sensors on a stock chassis to see how much flex they incur under hard acceleration/hard cornering/violently rough roads... I'm guessing very rough roads might be worse than racing loads?
buddy at work got a SS camaro, drives it like a little old lady, never gets wet/dirty/flogged...but first thing he did was put 50 pounds of subframe connectors/tower brace/etc in it... really curious if theres a lot of benefit to be had or is it mostly a looks thing...

 

Here is an installed picture...

 

Unfortunately it will not fit with convertibles. It will interfere with the top.

 

LOOKS SWWWEEEEEEEETTT

 

Our first run of these sold out in a few days, but the next production run will be finished in a few days so pending orders won't be waiting very long.

 

I'm thinking the same way.

 

Not sure I'm following you guys. I get what you are saying about bends on strut tower braces, I've talked about that before, but this brace has no bends to the tubes, so how did that work its way into the X-brace?

 

Sorry SteedaGus, I started out reading rear x-brace and ended up thinking front strut tower brace. The rear x-brace's design looks fine to me.

 

Unless the bottom feet are welded down that is just more weight it will do absolutely nothing held in place by the rubber donuts of the shocks. Just a scam to make money. Weld it or lose it.
