There is a simular thing that people but onto a rear of the CTR's give good effect but are not quite as effective as changing the arb itself.


So they pritty much do the same thing but the brace isnt quite as effective as the arb itself.

You sure you want to stiffen the front though?

no they dont

a brace stiffens the chassis a stoped flex of the suspension geometry.
an arb is basicly a spring that conects to sides of the suspension to prevent body role

braces and arb are in no way linked
