R-D Racing Camber Brace - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

93RubyZ · 03-23-2008

Is anyone using this camber brace? If so, what are your thoughts? I'd like to stiffen up the frame and this appears to be something that can help. Over on the other site, Pinacle Autoworks is running a special through the end of the month of $225 shipped for the ZR-1 (regular price is $275 plus shipping).

I have one. A PITA to route around everything in front of the engine.
It attaches to the inside of each front shock tower and includes shims.
When tightened it changed the allignment and makes adjusting the alignment
an adventure. And another thing to deal with if you have to work on anything
in front of the engine. It does stiffen the front suspension and flex.

Ted just mentioned all the disadvantages. It makes it tough to do anything on the front part of the engine.

Thanks for all the feedback! In case anyone is interested and haven't found the post, here it is:

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like I can't post a link. Is CF blocked on this site now? Anyway, if you're intersted just check the C4 for sale section and do a search for "C4 Camber Brace."

Prices are supposed to be good through the end of the month.

I just installed one on my car without instructions and it didn't come with shims. Does anyone have instructions or pictures of the shims?

What do you guys think of the X-brace?
I hear this works great to stiffen up the chassis.

I have the x-brace and it really works.. You feel it (street drive) and see it work when jacking the car up.

The problem is it way to low to the ground. If you have lowered your car you will hit every dump in the road..
