Rear Seat Bracing
« on: December 18 2011, 09:07:41 AM »
Jumping in the GN this morning (-8C) and heading off to the shop to install the rear seat bracing. How much does this help with "flex" at the track...and how much stiffer for everyday driving.

Astounded that the guy who spends more time at the track than anyone does not have this?
No sail panel rips?

I found less jiggle going across rail road tracks, etc.   I think it helps but it is not a giant difference...s hould help keep the body flex down and keep it straightg.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Amazing...isn't it. It's stiff already with the ATR bar and the Metco billet lowers. Average short time with the car with 28X9's has been 1.7...not enuf to do hurt anything. Going with the 10.5's in the spring...could be another story.
