Started making braces for the 96 tonight.

The IRS brace is done, just needs painted and pick up the hardware.

Yeah, I'll be building extra sets. I bought a couple sticks of 1x1 and 1x2 tube and misc plate.

Tube is .120 wall, plate is .1875 thick.

And I forgot. The trim piece arrived in great shape! Thanks again.
 
Right side is finished welded and fitted. Now to mirror it for the left side and paint.

After a quick drive, the front feels much improved, the rear seems firmer especially during shifts.

Yes, for those interested, I can make additional brace sets, let me work up a price.
 
Where'd this trend start??? :p

When did the drop-down version of the rear torsion brace become so popular?

I have the slim-line version. :D

Well now having a couple hundred miles with them, I can say the car feels much better. All though, the CD player isn't so happy.. :lol:
 
Alrighty then....

These fit Gen I and Gen II?

And some of us still want to have pricing info....:D
 
Yes they should.

Rear IRS brace, $75 plus ship.

Front long braces (three point attachment, rear bracket will need welded to subframe) $175 plus ship.
 
Ok let see if any one can guess this. Who was the first major company to production braces. And who was the first indivisual to do production braces.
 
Kenny Brown

Johnny Langston


On the money. Kenny B no longer make em and johnny will no longer make. Either. So for front and rear tower braces mark viii guy are on there own

This is how johnny L started and after awhile he didn't likthe fact that a lot of guy didn't like his prices cause he spend a lot of free time doing them. Better get started on building a lot of them ide rather just have front and rear shock tower braces and bigger sway bars
