Default Camber Brace - Really help handling?

Does the camber brace ($160) make a big difference in how the car tracks around corners, esp if they're bumpy? Does anyone have pictures of this part?

Yes, it helps ! I don't autocross or anyting like that but I can tell you that the car tracks much better now. Also, much less "kick" in the steering wheel when goning over sharp bumps (railroad track etc.)..

Definately worth the price in my opinion..

Here is a pic of it on my car:

This thread is going to turn into a RD racing Camber Brace lovefest. Why wait, order one on the GP. You're lucky, you have an L98, the install is supposed to be easy. On the LT1/4 it's a little tricky the first time.

Re: Camber Brace - Really help handling? In a word, yes.

Yes, it definately helps handling. Also, there is a camber-brace group purchase going on. The C/B price is $150/shipped.
