2G AWD Chassis bracing ???

[2ndgsx]

Any options for chassis bracing on a 2G AWD Eclipse or does it even need it ? I already have the shock tower bars, RM Racing rear sway bar and a bar up by the rear hatch but would like the under bracing if it's out there. I do ALOT of canyon carving .

First off, thicker swaybars have the opposite effect as chassis bracing; in fact, they make torsional bracing more important.

There is no OTS solution to the torsional weakness of a 2G (which is especially bad if you have a sunroof). The only option is a cage.

RR sells a front lower stress bar. I don't know how much it helps, I only know that it exists. Perhaps another member can provide more feedback.

Look here about half way down.
