Not the everything bracing and other chassis reinforcing rant?
Will your feelings be hurt?
Odds are yes, highly likely, apologies
The time has come to tear down the walls and talk about one of our favourite and affordable “handling” mods.
I admit I have a few, but I feel I like the bling factor more than the nvh.
How can a brace that weighs around a kilo going to change the handling?
Then there’s those, like my buddy olm8, who literally has all of them, any more and they’ll have to be custom.
Anyhow my point is that there’s a big line to cross in these handling mods: subframe bushes, pineapples etc, oh and at that point, rigi cola.
I think that point is demonstrated by the STi S series chassis reinforcement parts, which are sets of flexible braces on mini heim joints.
For a road car this is an advantage over braces that ultimately interfere with the subframe bushes…
Ultimately the question is probably custom subframes: what would you change to get a better result ?
Edits forthcoming lol.
