Title: Strut braces
Post by: mutleysfriend on January 18, 2008, 07:21:11 PM
Hi Guys,
A quick question, is there any advantage in replacing the factory standard front strut brace with an aftermarket one? I\'m using the car mainly for track days.

I am no expert but in the main i doubt it, after market ones might be slightly lighter, but the stock one will do its job. however i am wondering if ones like the one on whifbitz new car that attach to the bulkhead might provide some extra stiffness and do the same job as the under wing braces that are available. my guess is that it probably does but i don\'t know if the effect is so great so as to make it noticeable.
