HERE, HERE, very tasteful scheme!!! I think it might look almost as nice in a red car.
Nice detail on the brace.

i believe the last time i saw it it was the owner who posted that picture...i remember him saying that that brace was a european brace or something or another and that it wouldn't fit on late 944's because of something in the engine bay hitting on it...IIRC

it looks like the racing dynamics brace but painted. i bought a new car thas is known for flexing......a mustang. im planning on getting as much bracing as i can to: basically keep the car from squeaking and twisting and keep the car in as new condition as possible. im not sure if any of my ideas apply to how small and tight the 944 already is. also 924s sorry.

I have the welt. bar. I can say i can notice a small amount of difference. the only reason i can notcie a difference is because i live next to miles of canyon roads, where i spend a lot of time, so in turns you know very well, you feel any difference there is, if you ran over a pebble, strut brace, bad sway bar bushing. i think the bar is helpful to the stock suspension, nbot like it will make nearly the difference a sway bar will, but its nice to have.

Kenny, triangulated bars are the norm for the Mustang's and Camaro's
