RE: Export brace.

By Gerry Proctor - 04/18/2002 7:18:59 AM; IP 207.133.188.254

Hey, George, just FYI on export braces. They aren't very, if at all, functional on Fairlanes. Mustangs benefit from the braces (including the Monte Carlo bar) because the shock towers are not tied together by a crossmember and lack structural rigidity. Fairlanes have a rigid crossmember and sturdy torque boxes so unless you do a lot of autocrossing on very sticky tires, they're more for show and making it harder to work on the engine. While Fairlanes are not nearly as prolific as Mustangs, you'd think that the aftermarket would support a Fairlane export brace since they are relatively simple to manufacture and could add a few bucks to the corporate coffers, but they don't because there is no market for them.

This thread, so far...
