Default Camber Brace Help

Pickup up this R-D Camber Brace a few months ago. Finally completed coilover and sway bars installs and now ready to install camber brace before getting an alignment, but having a little trouble figuring out how this brace is installed. Do I have all the parts needed for install? Anyone have good pics of brace to help? Thanks in advance for any info

Left Side (drivers side):

Right side (Pax side) looking down at it:



Crossbar running underneath front of the air horn. Tight fight:



Mine is an early one I think 10+ yrs old. Yours may not be exactly
the same. As I remember the DS crossbar-to-short-cornerpiece bolt
was a bi-atch to tighten due to limited access with the tools I had then.

On the plus side, it works great once you get it installed!

Good luck

Thanks for the quick reply and pics. Best pics I have seen of one installed, there are tons of pics for L98 and LT1 cars but not so much for the Z. I will hopefully have time tonight to take a look and try to install. Thanks again

What coil overs and sways did you go with? Have heard people talk about c/o's on their Z's but haven't heard much about sways. On my old C5 I went with a c/o system from Pfadt racing and put larger sways from the C6Z51 system. Might be something I do on my 94 down the road. Thanks!

I went with DRM coilovers (dougrippie.com) and VBP sway bars (vbandp.com). Went with 32mm front and 26mm rear solid bars. Will post pics soon.

How was your ride after the install? Do you track your car? I'm not a track junky but do like to do some " spirited " driving. When I took my old C5 from stock and added c/ o's, sways, non run flats, and a thicker tunnel brace, and then sat her down in the weeds she was a totally different car. Rode smooth as anything but would stay totally flat through any twisty. Looking forward to your pics! Be sure to show off your stance
