Re: Installed No Flex Frame Stiffener Bar System
I'm not clear on what it ties together, and how it works. Do you have a diagram? Weight? Thanks.

The hypothesis behind this is that the front and back flex relative to each other, not side to side torquing or twisting that is the issue. So the helps the chassis keep from folding on itself along the width of the car. Basically augmenting what the targa top does now when in place.

Re: Installed No Flex Frame Stiffener Bar System
Thanks for posting and reminding me to install these that I bought several years ago when Jeff posted. I'm going to make time this weekend after finally having some time. A few weeks ago I was in the Phoenix area and did the Z06 Experience at Bondurant (C7 Stingray did not arrive in time) and what a blast it was to drive that car. I want to stiffen up the chassis and will also add the Brey Krause harness bar with harness too. I think it will complement the DRM coilovers and other rear suspension mods to get all these parts off the shelf so gotta get off my arse. Thanks again for the motivation and reminder.
Craig
