Default The Camber Brace vs Auto Accidents.

I'm curious what would happen if you had a "Camber Brace" installed and you were hit on your right front? Would it tear the suspension up? Would it shoot through the hood? Snap and end up in the drivebelt? Would it cause a lot of extra damage?

Lets be honest Kale.... it the wreck is bad enough to reach the camber brace, I don't think it will matter much...

There's accidents like TimSpeed had that aren't that nasty, which would affect it, I think. I wish I had the picture handy.

I think it would distribute the stress to the frame better, thereby absorbing the energy with less damage to the frame, especially in the case of front side impacts.
