So, strut braces

[93mkviii]

Well i just ordered the torsion brace and engine cradle brace from saturn. Now i've been searching about strut braces(upper) for both the rear and front. I think saturn had a go at it with pictures for the rear strut brace but never heard any followup. The engine brace(front strut) has never had any pictures done. Has anyone tried it? I was looking at the space and it is possible. Anyone gonna try to make a front strut brace and rear for the mark viii? I know it's not really needed for daily driving but it just helps the car tie in better. also repetitive flex in the car cause greater wear for tire/suspension so i want to see what you guys think.

I can build the rear upper brace if you are looking for one... I just need to pull the one I made to get measurements from.

I haven't looked at making a front upper brace yet.

you should try making one for the front. I may be interested. This car has no support for the top of the strut... thin metal. However I don't know as much as you guys about the chassis of this car. I'm looking for a better feel of the car as it goes over hard bumps and turns it should be very composed.

I think a front tower brace has been tried w/o success due to space limitations.
