Ladder Brace

[AWDRACER6]

What do you guys think of the ladder brace? Are they worth spending the money? I dont mean would you do it, i mean if i spent the money would it help? What exactly do they do??

don't bother if you have to ask and can't research what it is

I think he is just asking for any reviews from members who have it on their car. He IS researching...

As for your last question, AWDRACER, any kind of brace is meant to stiffen up the chassis of the car by tying key elements of the frame together using stiffer components.

Ya, i basically figured that. Like the sway bars and things like that. So i guess it serves no other purpose other then that? Do they actually help?? You know anyone who has used it??

I do but have not heard any convincing evidence to warrant the money these things cost. Just buy a set of sway bars, you will feel a MUCH bigger difference.

Thats what i was thinkin. It seems that this is almost the same as a sway bar. Not really the same but same concept.... Its probably for looks more then anything

i have the gt spec 6 point ladder brace and rear lateral bar links. i'm not completely sure if it's just mind sake, but it seems like there's a difference a bit. after the lateral bars launching actually feels slightly better as well. i'm going to do all the structure bars made for the car from auto exe and gt spec so i'm sure when combined the car will be structurally more inclined to stiffen up.

Ya thats the one i was looking at. Was it hard to install??

not at all. 3 bolts on each side. you'll need a 17mm and 19mm 1/2" with a breaker bar and then for convenience the same in a 3/8" ratchet for ease. and you'll need to use a jack. you'll see why after getting one side of bolts undone the holes go out of alignment. a rack starts drooping down. so with the jack holding it up everything lines up perfect. all in all takes about 25-30 minutes with no problems and breaks in between (after awhile, the gravel digging into my skull doesn't feel too hot). lol.

Haha! Thats tight though... I think i might get one eventually. I will probably get the sway bars first
