Ex : T4 with NOS on board
Iv'e read elsewhere that a rear brace like the 1 pictured isnt too effective as it bolts to to rear turret mounts that arn't load bearing. The best way to fix 1 would be........... (borrowed info).....http://www.quickbrickmotorsports.com...agonbrace.html

Got a rear brace in my car made by PowerCraft that will have 4 fixing points when fully finished! It is currently fixed to the body at both lower end horizontal points.
Looks the nutz as is but TBH I aint 100% convinced it stiffens the car a gr8 deal, havin said that maybe when the sus' is fully reworked it'll all work as a BIG sorted package and the rear end will benefit as a result of the already fitted brace...phew I d'narf go on As has already been mentioned here I too think any bracing HAS gotta b a positive for stiffenin/handlin?...
does anybody have a link to the VMS site so i can check out the S40 rear brace?
