Rear Lower control arm brace, Judging Interest Options

[bsamps4]

Just kinda wanted to judge interest if there was any. I made this brace for my rear lower control arms. This one is made of stainless, but I would make out of aluminum in the future for anyone that actually wants one. I could feel a difference after I bolted it on. Feels like the suspension is doing more of the work...(less flexing).

Due to the amount of time that it takes me to make these I think a fair asking price would be $45 shipped to the lower 48. If this sounds like a lot throw out a reasonable price I just want to see if there is interest at all in something like this, and I'm trying to give you guys a decent deal.

I might be interested if more will be made. No need to make just one but if multiple will be made, I'll probably take one.

I appreciate the honest feed back. I'm going to make a new prototype and see whatcha think.

Can someone pleeeeeeeease explain what this does and how it will work?

Reduces flex where your lower control arm connects to the subframe (just like an upper tower bar). Less distortion while you're cornering. Just bolt it on using the existing bolts and go

i am very interested kind sir i wouldnt want it into aluminum because of flex id love the stainless steel version. Im thinking i can round the edges off a little bit and clean the cuts up and send it in for anodizing man hit me up when you make another one.

there was discussion on this product that vincent doggy posted. There was a aftermarket company that made these a while back ago. most members said this doesn't make much of a difference. (from what I remember reading) but of course if you put this together with front and rear strut brace, side tower strut braces, underbody strut braces, coilovers, sway bars, end links then yes it'll all work together.

Agreed. Just wanted to create a quality piece for members that want or have all the above listed items at an affordable price point.

Personally I don't think they'd make a real difference, but I could be wrong.
I think people will have a pretty tough time getting those trailing arm nuts off without good air tools.

My gun which is 800flbs in reverse couldnt do it. I had to raise the car then use a 25" breaker bar to move them. I refastened with lock tite and the impact gun.

Yea they are a pain to get out. Had to try and remove one when I broke a bolt and ended up just gong another route, because even the shop said it would be easier to leave them and unbolt something else.

I also remember vincent saying that these weren't very effective when it came to performance.
