    Basically it's purpose is to reduce the compliance of the uni-body frame between the LCABs and additionally holds the brackets in double shear.



    I'll measure and shoot one installed asap...

    About the same as the X brace though.
    that would be great. i am running bilstein sports with H&R sports so i should be OK. going to switch to coil overs soon, but only for a stiffer spring rate, keeping the same height

      FrankenKar sits really low and ground clearence is't a problem with this or the x.

      It hangs about 1" below the lcabs in total...

      here is an image of the x prototype on a 318is (couldn't find one at this angle of the finished brace):



      Bout the same as the LCAB

          really awesome stuff zen is coming out with. I would be interested later on but as of now would like to know if it would fit a m50 car with obd2 down pipes. I'm sure it fits but just wanna make sure for future reference

                An into price on a harness bar would be $299...

                Compared to Sparco's $429 that's pretty good...

                And It'll fit better too.

                  do you have a sparco bar for R&D? maybe you need one in exchange for one of your new bars? eh?

                              unfortunately the rear is another story.
