Tanabe Front UnderBrace for Honda Fit

Often overlooked, especially on vehicles that are reaching higher levels of modification, is the importance of reinforcing the chassis. All vehicles experience flexing of the unibody under various handling loads. Twisting of the chassis is also very common on higher horsepower vehicles.

The SUSTEC UNDERBRACE prevents this unwanted behaviour by connecting specific points of the undercarriage to reinforce the chassis. Unique internal double-i-beam construction is highly rigid, and lightweight, so the chassis may be significantly reinforced without adding surplus weight.

Noticeable gains in balance and stability are gained after it's simple bolt on installation.

I just put the bar on yesterday and had to drive about 200 milles down five and at 90+ the car fealls very stable stearing is a lot more responsive and holds a corner very well. I am very happy with this product.

Tanabe Front UnderBrace for Honda Fit

Hi Bap, this is Henry (konig_feather). I met you at the breakfast meet in Scotts Valley. Anyways, how did you install the front underbrace on your fit? When you remove the bolts from the A Arm on both sides, how do you re-align the holes again after installing the under brace? Thanks, Henry
