I've got a set on my EG. They basically turn your entire front bumper beam into a monster chassis brace. There was quite a difference in ride quality after the install. Basically the car only makes a thud over bumps instead of a nasty shudder. I don't race my car, so I cannot comment on how they help turn-in etc.

It's pretty nice, but I did notice quite bit more metal creaking noises from the hatch area now. It would be cool to fabricate a smiliar piece for the rear bumper beam too. I talked to Korbach about doing rear frame locks, but they feel it would be much more difficult to sell. Plus you wouldn't really get any handling benifits like your supposed to with the front kit...

You may want to contact them first. Last I heard from them, they were looking for local (san fran) guys with Del Sols to test fit the EG frame locks. They weren't positive the EG kit would fit the Sol. Call & find out if they still need test fit subjects. You could get a free set just for taking a road trip. This was about a year ago though...

Couldn't hurt to try...

I also have the korbach frame lock. The front reinforcement bar act like a giant strut bar. Which make the entire front stiffer.

You'll notice a big difference.

It seems that development on the other models has taken a damn long while. I wonder what happened?
