Strut bars for front end
Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer of strut bars to strengthen
a C4's front end.
Strut bars are the number 1 add-on for import cars to connect the shock towers, but it seems the C4 could also use another cross-member in the front.
Thanks.

R&D racing makes a camber brace but I have not seen before and after performance gains at the track with it. If you run a search it seems people buy them to make the car easier to drive over bumps, I have not seen this problem though. Until I see more data it is just extra weight. R&D makes a few other products to, check them out.

The r-d piece is very stout, you will like it.
Check out the C4 cross brace and x-brace too.

I don't see why import guys use strut tower braces so much. I don't see how a uniboy is going to flex that much, especially if you are on street tires. If you are running 12" slicks, ok, we can talk about chassis flex. I know f-body guys have shown pretty well that these braces don't do squat.
Also, C4 don't have any struts. Anywhere. So there is no such thing as a strut tower brace.
