Underbody Bracing

[CeJay]

I have these on either side of my car, anyone able to tell me what it is? And apart from stiffening up the car, why would they have been put on in japan?

[Craved]

so they connect from the front suspension to the front of the rear subframe?

look like added brace to assist the U channel frame rails of the unibody ... stiffening of the chassis from front to back rather than most people stiffening from side to side..

[CeJay]

thx, The front appears to be just bolted to the body, and the rear appears to be connected to the rear suspension?

looks like you can do rail grinds..lol they look pretty nifty, i want some!

yeah i like it... depends where it's bolted to at the front, as the floor is just single layer and will flex where it joins if it just bolts to the floor....

umm yeah thats what i thought too. no bolt holes in the floor from a cage in the past? because I can't see them being all that effective really.....no cross bracing they are just parallel to existing strength
