That seems light, what are they alum, moly or plain tubing, how thick are the end brackets?

thanks


DOM tubing
Sorry I'm not going to give out much public info on these. I.E. here is a material list etc. I will say that the plates are thick enough to handle the loads that will be feed through them under heavy driving conditions.

Sorry I did not mean to be inquisitive about it, I did not know you may want to market these later on, if you do I would be interested.

Glad to see a lot of more cars been built for road racing.
 
who wants to make some replicas? I will only send it out to a reputable member!!This is a very rare Ralliart k-brace for 2g . The only one that I know of.

@okm12346 Can you show where it mounts? I still have yet to see an installed picture.

The black arrows are pointing to the mounts that bolt to the front lower lateral arms. They actually are like a clevis and the lower arm is centered in them and the oem bolts go through the brace subframe and arms.

The mounting points that have the blue arrows Attach to the the forward bolt of the dog bone on the compression arms.

Design wise it the best lower brace I have seen for our cars.

Makes total sense. 2g cars in general have terrible torsional rigidity unless they are complete hard tops. I have been contemplating how to increase rigidity without welding in a cage, and diagonal bracing the frame rails together should help a ton.
 
Guys, what about frame rail reinforcements? They are popular on Miata's and I think they should helps with Spyders.

Building my Spyder over last three years, I forgot just how flexible it is!
The Galant web sight has photos and instructions on frame reinforcements. I could not find the articles

Roadraceengineering.com already makes this for the 2g and I have had it on my car for years.

They make a lower tie bar which isn't the same. If they make anything similar to this it isn't listed in their catalog.

you're correct!
What's the difference if you don't mind me asking? Because it bolts up the same in two main areas

I do see a difference in that it braces in two areas but I'm sure with road racing R&D this would be a great substitute

Scroll down once you open it
Front lower stress bar


That red brace is nice I had one like that on my E36 M3 but the RRE brace has helped firm up my car along with the front t and rear strut tower braces and my car has no sqeaking or rattles and handling is on point along with my poly urethane bushings a RM rear sway. The bars I would say make the biggest difference in the way the car feels.

I think my car is braced very good!
