Hey guys
Will attach links as easier to explain

At the moment running the lower 6 point underbody

Does anyone have any experience with the below and if worthwhile or something similar?

or

Apologies for being difficult

Thanks guys

New to the platform and interested in comments on these types of braces.

There are members on here who are running those front braces, so maybe they will chime in, but no one I know of on here is running that furthest back, all alloy, tunnel brace.

We are fortunate that Ron @whoosh motorsports brings these Summit/Swave products in from your land, otherwise we would have a really difficult time getting them here. [wink]

I can’t say I’ve experienced much flex in the chassis directly. Most of what I can see is linking subframes and bushed parts to the chassis.we actually have a pretty good chassis honestly. I have the Mountune lower subframe brace and haven’t felt any difference even at the track.

2 pt front traction brace, whoosh brand. I felt like it tightened things up when accelerating, alot of torque steer smoothed away to barely much at all but I also had it mounted at same time as lighter wheels and MUCH stickier and slightly wider tires which may have been involved in that improvement as well

I think someone needs to make a collar locking kit for us.

I'm curious too. Been checking these out on Whoosh's site for months now.

Ron sells a subframe positioning collar setup That eliminates slop in the subframe at the control arm points and rear mounting points. There are some that argue against it because Ford built the wiggle room into the design engineer wise problem is subframe movement does happen and it throws your alignment out. So there is a debate on the Pros and cons about it.
