Headers are definitely not out of the question. The trunk brace you would have to show me a pic or get me a piece to work off of.

All good ideas and doable.

Fronts and rears will be in the works soon.
You got me thinking...

I'm pretty sure 100% of the camber-adjustable front A-arms out there require the ball or heim joint to be removed from the knuckle to adjust.
I wonder if one could be made adjustable on the vehicle. That would be something...


Yes Ben, similar to the honda control arms where the ball joint itself is adjustable.

Do you have pics of that? I'm real curious.

Something like this. Doesn't have to be one piece either, I just prefer stiff, LOL!

Or perhaps an "X" brace too.

As for the header, I am seriously interested even if it's a one off piece. I don't mind paying for a good header, as all previous options are difficult to source.

Something of that nature but tubular. Cody actually asked me about these a while back.

I could do all of that but I would need some pretty good measurements from you. I can put an adjuster in the center to make it work as long as we're close. Pm me if you're serious about them. As for the header...when do we start!

Very interesting.
I'm not sure I would buy something with that specific design. =/

What drawbacks do you see with this design? I am asking as I am not an expert and have limited knowledge with chassis bracing.

nsusammyeb, I'll get the measurements out to you sometime this week. I'll PM you about the header details.

I was referring to the image of the lower A-arms with adjustable camber that were posted. I don't like how it seems to deal with lateral forces. I wasn't talking about the braces.

However, since you asked... The first brace you posted which seems to be a square brace in the trunk won't really do anything to help chassis dynamics in my opinion. It can't help torsional rigidity where it is. And I'm not sure what else it is designed to do? It will however, change the characteristics in a rear collision, likely for the worse. That's a crumple zone, and should be left alone IMO.

The "X" brace, or something like it, seems like it would be beneficial.

Cheers!

As far as race cars, chassis squaring is always beneficial, anything to box your chassis helps. There are many, many, ways to do it. If you look at fender braces, to trac bars, to sway bars, to strut braces...the front end will be totally boxed. @meowSER 's idea does just that out back. Kind of takes the place of a cage if you think about it, but while a cage serves as a safety function as well.

I respectfully, completely disagree.
