It's pricey, but worth it if you have a cab. With that and the Dynatech strut tower brace I had to adjust my rear anti roll bar because the front was biting so well. It wouldn't be my first mod, though-get the mo30 sways and the CS steering wheel first.

Old post...but any new experience here? Would it stiffen the front? Would that cause additional understeer or help keep the chassis square and true? I get a sense I am getting a lot of twist in the chassis as it ages. Also, any experience with the rear torque tube delete kit?

Thanks, Mike

I found it made a lot of difference, yes it did cause additional understeer, but to me that means it is making a difference to the stiffness of the car, the understeer can be fixed in other ways.

I guess I would call it high speed, I don't mind a bit but the brace made it excessive. It has never been as noticeable with my 951

I too have one on my cab, it does make a big difference in the flex.

The one things I have not heard mentioned, was if you have the underneath panel in the front installed. If so, you will either have to remove it or cut into it to get this Brey-Krause Lower Chassis Support Brace to fit correctly.

Fly, not sure what piece you mention but I had to make no mods whatsoever to fit the brace.

986TurboS, I had another brace prior and switched to Brey-Krause Lower Chassis Support Brace. Great brace and definitely worth the money but I had to make a couple of adjustments to make it work for my vehicle. Glad yours worked with no issues.
