Thread: Fender Braces

These are done and in stock for those interested.

sweet!
hard to tell from the pics, is the finished product aluminum?

Nope, these are mild steel so you are able to weld them to the car.

bump?

it was $199 for aluminium and now $225 for steel?

Worth it IMHO.

Kimme and I drove down to and back from OEM Wednesday. Drove down in Kimme's (my old) NX. It has Progress coilovers with 350f and 250r springs, Octotat rear triangulated brace, and no front strut tower bracing of any kind. (soon to be remedied). My car has the Progress Dan Gardner setup with 450f and 350r springs, Octotat rear trinangulated brace, OEM front triangulated brace, lower control arm brace, and the fender braces. My car, even with stiffer springs rode significantly smoother on the same route on the way home because the chassis is stiffer.

yeah that seems a little odd... any explanation?

They were going to be made out of aluminum until we noticed that the weight savings is nearly zero.so being that they are steel you can have them welded to the car,which gives you a much stronger brace

yet no decrease in price with cheaper materials? i think that's what we're trying to figure out here...
