LCABS Lateral...Yes...Another Chassis Brace

[iwillhunt]

Woah, $130? I might be interested. I shouldn't be(as a poor college student), but I might be.

My thoughts exactly.

I have been looking for a harness bar for along time. Would you possible do a bundle package with some discount if i guy the rear X-brace, harness bar, and lower x-brace?

[golde30]

will the harness bar be similar to the SPARCO unit? its a good design, but fits the e30 terribly, i just have mine sitting around...

[jms16v]

would be interested in seeing a prototype of a harness bar.

Here is the LCAB Cross Brace:

Here is the LCAB Cross Brace:

So it goes from Control arm to control arm?

[der affe]

how is the ground clearance with it installed?

From LCAB (lower control arm bushing) to LCAB (affectionately known as lolly pops to the dorks) Bracket.

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.

Would it then affect the steering feel, say, making if feel heavier, or more precise?

Yes under extreme conditions but not the kind of feedback you get out of the X brace.

It does give the ride a bit more "solid" feel and it does reduce "shudder" on acceleration in the cabriolet.

Hmm, interesting... I like the concept of the whole "Chassis bar light" for DDs and more affordable...

Depending on how xmas break goes, i might look into one of these

Bolt in Roll Bar...

I'd love to...

The problem is that it would be expensive to produce and I could not compete with (meaning the price) what is already out there.

Bolt in roll bar would be amazing!!

Was there an answer to the "fit a convertible??" question I missed? Specifically a 93 E30 325i Cabrio. I'd order a whole dang host of frame strengthening parts for this car if they fit: Better Strut Tower Brace (the scrawny Eibach one I'm using now is probably not helping a bit), Lower X-Brace, Rear X-Brace. LOTS of Cabrios sold over the years that need tightened-up handling as they wobble into the geriatric years.

He just told me it reduces shudder under acceleration in cabbies, so im guess this brace will fit

both the Front Lower X, front strut Brace and this brace fit the Cabriolet e30s...

And yes they need them don't they...

unfortunately the rear is another story.
