RP Sport S13 Subframe braces
I was John's very first purchase for a set of these, and had planned to post this much sooner, but other parts for the car held me up.
These were the final component I needed to finish setting up the car. I was originally going to just make my own set, but I didn't know which kind of metal to use, nor did I know what installing (originally missing on my car) would do to the handling. I'll admit, it would of probably been cheaper if I made my own but consider this. If making your own braces, you have to have or buy much more metal than is needed to just make the two brackets. You will also have to go out and find/buy all the hardware and then cut & drill the holes. This can be a royal pain in the ass, and time consuming. So for me, these are a great value. The install is so easy I'm not going to bother explaining it. My car has a full SPL multi link in both front and rear sans the lower control arms. I thought the car handled great before, but the RP Sport bars ended up making a huge difference. Just to be sure it wasn't psychosomatic, I installed them on a friends car (without his knowledge) after he brought it over so I could fix his rear brake caliper. Immediately he noticed a change in his car's handling, and was asking what I did. To test, there are a few roads nearby that are very windy, and with the bracers, the car felt much more planted. Intalled pics: Thanks John. |
