ultra racing 4pt lower brace..install

today i installed the ultra racing 4pt lower brace and it feels really good. it definately tightened up the back end a lot. It was really easy to install and even though it doesnt sit flush with the underbody, i had some plates made so it would fit. ( you can use washers also)



first you want to start by taking out the bolts. when your done doing that, bolt in the back ones leaving them loose enough to move the brace around


here is the plate. you can use washers to make it sit flush. it barely fit with the plates.





line up the holes and tighten the bolts in the front( i know the right side is not done in the pic) and this is how it looks all done. then test drive and feel that tight ass

seriously, if you think you get gains from strutbar, you'll freak out when you install that swaybar

o wow nice pictures of installing it, it looks like it goes kind of in the middle of the car. I have Progress sway bar and I have forgotten what it is like when I had it off. Would this 4 point brace get in the way? Or better yet, would it cancel out the effects of my sway bar or enhance it (or overkill)? and how much does i cost?? :-D

you can never have too much bracing on a car to minimize body roll.

it all depends on how much you wanna spend.
