anyone try this, should i brace the inside of the engine bay as well ? Kinda tie it in so it's braced from the fender to the firewall.. also i jb welded a bunch of the seams, prob won't do much or anything, but can't hurt

Nope, wont do anything... only hurts the wallet and its a bunch of useless work.

I honestly hope you meant that as a joke.

 

Just got done with a pair for a customer. And here are some quotes people have said about these braces in general. Everyone I talked to said they felt a difference.

"The Inner Fender Brace provides chassis reinforcement between the joint of the car's front engine section and mid cockpit section. Typically, the greatest strength of the car's chassis will be low, concentrated in the frame. As we move up the chassis, we find there is less reinforcement, especially at the fender area, where the forward section and mid section of the car are joined by a few spot welds. Consequently, under hard braking and cornering there is a great amount of flex and twist at the fender area. The Alex Inner Fender Brace reduces this flexing and the sloppy steering response associated with it. Chassis rigidity is increased noticeably and turn in response is significantly crisper and faster?

"definite improvement and reduction of slop. immediate noticable difference in front end stiffness.

i could go on, but im not running a strut tower brace, which would probably also help in siffening up the front end. these will probabyl make their way to my new project car"

"they work"

"Yeah, I have these on my crx. I have the A-sports. My friend in the military picked the set up for me when he was over there for I love them. Not only do they stiffen up the front end, but the doors feel so much smoother when opening them. Best suspension part I have bought yet! Mike"

 

Brace&gt;JB Weld.

 

well its braced as well, hence the large bar connecting the frame, i'll make a door brace like that thursday thow.. prob cost about 20, and jb welding the seams can't hurt.
