New C4 Frame Braces
I might have your answer..
Currently on my Car are a set of frame brace to help give the C4 a solid frame feel like the C5. These will bolt in any post-86 (uses front X brace bolt points), no drilling required, although there might be an extra hole in the brace that would require one hole to be drilled but would be optional. These braces can be left on while removing exhaust ETC, it is not a cross brace of any type.. The Brace was designed by Gordon Killebrew.. These braces are NOT lower then my exhaust. they are similar to F-body Sub frame connectors (in mounting) and are not X-Braces So far I have driven 100 miles with the top on but the car is definitely more solid then it was prior. Need to drive with the top off to see how well it is in the picture below the car is dirty from rain.. you can see the head of one bolt here on the left and the rod (in black) running length of car..   REAR Mount:    Front Mount:  These are being made by Vette2vette. They will have some set avail at Bloomington Gold next week

Re: New C4 Frame Braces
Might be cheaper and faster to put it on a frame machine Jeff

Re: New C4 Frame Braces
have you tried the jack up test yet?
put a floor jack under 1 corner, does the car lift 3 wheels off the ground. I have the R&D cross brace, it works great. just can not use it for street. No one like the spark show from behind.... |
