strutbrace opinions

[domn8]

What are your opinions on strut braces, am i likely to notice less roll through corners, more stability? Best one to get?

looks good more than anythin. Took it for a blast after wede fitted it and didnt notice any difference really. Back end does not budge and we was taking corners pretty fast..

dunno about fronts

Very doubtful you will notice any difference at all, as std suspension has so much rubber in it.

The theory is sound it will make a difference to the chassis but you wont feel it.

Too stiff + Trackdays and your roof might warp... ask Snufty

Reason I ask is I dont think my valver is all that stable through corners, doesnt fill me with confidence especially since my mates back end slid out when driving pretty sensibly. Could it be that my shocks/springs are knacked?

My guess would be worn suspension

strut braces do what they say, they brace the chassis.

They do not affect the workings of the suspension compoents, but rather plant their fixing positions so that chassis flex becomes less of a dynamic variable during cornering.

Modern chassis are pretty stiff and have engineered in degrees of flex for certain applications. So you can either help or hurt the way a car handles. Besides, road tyres dont generate enough lateral G to flex a chassis that much.

Race rubber, high speeds and high power are totally different things all together.
