Which means absolutely nothing to me !!!! but thanks for telling me.

Is a brace that bolts to top of front suspension mounts, increases rigidity (supposedly). I doubt they'll be much use unless you rally, tyres will flex LONG before the chassis does on a track...

Hah, hah, now I understand, they used to use them on older cars, before chassis were improved.

Pretty much, only really useful on monocoque chassis though, naff all use on a seperate chassis/body car like my last one...

Iirc, they put them on Triumph Dolomites as a retro, they used to split at the front without them.

That was a monocoque though iirc, like the Toledo and 1300

Stags as well ? Bleddy hell, we're going back now. ****e motors then compared to today's.

fits on my 1998 slx with PAS no probs

they're more for aesthetics tbh and don't make much noticable handling difference on track and barely any difference on road cos the strut tops so close to the solid bulkhead anyway.
a lower arm brace on the other hand improves the floppy front suspension mount structure to help maintain a more stable geometry and improve cornering stability

I love olders cars, minis, stags, mg B's etc etc pretty much anything built after 1990 I won't bother looking at. Most modern cars are the same generic shape and are boring to drive.

Older cars are more fun to modify too

 

[l_jonez]

Yep I'm hoping to build a big power Dolomite sprint in the future. much more fun than an equivalent power modern car.

 

[davyboy]

I must admit, I'm not a fan of the modern motor.

 

[Enuo]

All this power steering, abs and traction control, electric heated seats rubbish... modern cars are made for old ladies!
