has anyone installed the front lower control arm brace?? is it worth it? u was thinking of making my own... maybe someone out there has done so...



pics from american muscle...

 

I have one that I made on my 06. Its a free mod that way the best kind I say go for it.

 

I made one for my 05. It uses the 3rd bolt shown (up/down) in your pic, if I remember correctly, as the front/ rear holes weren't on my 05. I think these bar were first used by OEM only on convertibles.

 

I say go for it. It's minimum weight and the extra chassis stiffness can only help around the corners. Plus it's a nice cheap mod!

Dude I have one in my garage that I would send you on the cheap. Funny story, I didn't know that the '07 and up already had them when I ordered one.

 

where r u from?...

 

I am in Charleston, SC.

 

I installed one of these on my 06 as well. Seemed to stiffen things up a bit. Go for it.

 

well I couldn't find my pic of the a frame brace but I did find the strut tower brace I made. When I get my car back monday or tuesday I snap anothe pic of the lower brace.

 

That car been sitting in a junkyard without a hood?

 

Nice job Glenn.

 

nooooo what makes you think its been in the junk yard?

 

HAhahahaha

 

Teasing you about how dirty the car is

 

ahhhh I see yea I don't open the hood to often.

 

Glenn likes it Mad Max style!

 

woot!!

 

Our 2008 came with this.

 

I'm not sure what the difference is because my 06 Vert came with it from factory. The coupes didn't and the idea behind it was the Verts flexed more and needed more support to remedy that. That's why they also came with the rear support bars.

With that being said it may help those that don't have them because they did start putting them in the coupes in '07

BTW my suspension mods will be done as soon as I get my Whiteline front sway bar from American Muscle that I purchase yesterday during the show. My Vert handles like I'm on a rollercoaster. The difference has been night and day. The only thing left that is stock from my suspension is the rear UCA. Won't change it unless it becomes a problem, meaning if it rips out.
