i made an underbrace for my ladies fit
whats up, it was slow at the shop the other day so i decided to whip this up.
to be honest i wasn't sure if it would really make a difference or not but it actually did...
im warning you its a very ugly prototype but everything was done by hand.
1. well heres the start of the mounting posts.
and the finished product

Very clever way to add bracing. Looking at chassis design though I have doubts that does anything but add weight. I have wanted to box in the mount location for the rear torsion beam suspension arm much like the hpd rally fit.

If you read over this page it will give you an idea where the strong points to the fit are. Now really good bracing crosses strong points. A triangle is the strongest shape to create a bracing designs.

pistachio was the only color I had at the time.
and I was also quite skeptical as to whether or not it would work but it actually does, the rear feels so planted now, a lot less rear roll, shes already got strut bars front and rear also but still on the stock sport struts and shocks and springs.
if you've got the time and equipment ide say go for it.

I would remake it with some 1.5inch diameter 1/8inch thick tubing cut about 2-3 inches long, instead of that box.
Might make it easier to install and improves cosmetics.
If you are so bored, make a few to sell on here! Get with one of the moderators to determine any rules or restrictions.
Or just clean that one up and sell it to me lol
