Been seeing lots of braces and I like buying shiny bits, so I'm wondering which are useful used on their own. I know some braces can introduce more understeer or other unwanted characteristics.

I’m interested in C pillar braces & the rear bulkhead DIY brace you can make (instructions on the US forums).

Anyone got any experience?

 

Anyone?

 

Also has anyone got any experience with the wing braces (fender braces), the beefier than standard ones with the extra mounting points.

Another point I've wondered: Im no expert, but would eliminating a lot of flex from a body shell make it handle worse, as it was designed to have that flex from the off? Or would it only affect comfort?

 

A good quality front brace, rear v brace and a h brace that should be enough. As anymore than that and if its a daily driver can will feel overly stiff and affect comfort.

 

Brill thanks, do you lose any ground clearance with the H brace?

 

My car is pretty low and after fitting a whiteline h brace had the same clearence, cleared the same speed humps no problems

 

Ah thats good. My car is low and that was my worry as well!

 

couple of pics

 

Ah that's ideal. Any negatives?

 

As mine is a weekend car at best, none whatsoever as it makes the car feel solid

 

Stu (53) had a spec D which was braced to within an inch of it's life.

 

Was it good?

Excellent!
