kalv 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Just had to drill some holes.. then bolt it down.. bit tricky getting my hands under the arches but other than that was fine.It does help the front end out.. turns in that bit more sharper and the 'roll' is less when turning into corners... plus brightens up the engine bay a touch Link to post Share on other sites

PhatSo 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I have one that looks almost identical to kalv's, I am currently painting it back as i got it 2nd hand and it was all scratched and wasnt polished.Hopefully it will make cornering a little more solid. On a silghtly off topic note, does anyone have a lower brace fitted on the front of there vr. I have one that bolts between the insides of the wishbones.How much should this effect the handling?Edit - Typo Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 any brace will tighten up the geometery as it stops it flexing under cornering load, i have a lower one on my mk1 but nothing on my VR6, I wouldnt mind an upper one but dont fancy drilling holes and removing arch liners just to do it!!!
