Re: GT Chassis Strut Brace In 200 1985

Would I make something, like having fun, up?

What are you waiting for?

My package was on the porch and I had them installed before my wife even knew I had come home!!! (Like 5 minutes) And I had to even took the right one off to run the fuel lines over the top of the brace when I reinstalled. The longest part of the job is getting the fuel line clamps out of the way and remounting the turbo pressure switchie thingamabob that is right in the way of the left brace.....all and all very slick. Used lotsa tie wraps on the fuel lines and rubber "grommets" where the fuel lines go over the braces.....you'll see what I'm yapping about.

Notice a BIG difference? No. Not really. I don't drive on the edge. But it is really noticeable. I was skeptical. So I drove the car again to get some chow. The whole front end behaves as one, more solid. I can feel it. Scouts honor.

Can't wait to score the tower to tower brace and the lower braces. I'm low on car funds right now!!!

PS They look cool, too.
