Dave any idea how long this group purchase is going to go on for? There was nothing said in either this post or on the mall....is it just for november
I will keep it open through November, but may switch things around for December with the Cross-frame coming out.

Camber brace is the best, cost effective suspension device I have seen.

Made a world of difference , even prior to modifying spring/ shock setup.

Shipping weight on the Camber-brace with hardware is just under 10lbs.

Installation on an LT-1 is approx. 30 minutes your first time, quicker the second time.

Tony,
My 84 has given a lot of newer cars a real hard time the last couple of years in the Mid-west and the engine was stock. The Camber-brace had a lot more to do with it than they realized.

Drop me an email with any of your questions or give me a call at 573-756-6954.

It's inexpensive enough to be a no-brainer, but I'm looking for opinions. Is there a noticable improvement in day-to-day, street driving with the camber brace.

Steve,

My opinion would be bias for sure, but you will notice a big difference.

You might post this question as a new thread since this is an old post and you'll get several comments I'm sure.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Dave

Just got mine yesterday on the GP and installed it today in the driveway in about an hour. Definite difference. Wheel doesnt shake nearly as much on all types of bumps , especially when cornering. Brace weighs under 10lbs and looks good. Excellent product , Dave - Oh and the brace arrived about an hour after we spoke on Thursday!! Thanks....... :seeya

Hello all. I'm about this close<> from ordering the camber brace... But i was wondering if it will take up any "slack" or "slop" in the steering? Thanks!

The Camber-brace will not correct or improve your steering if you have defective parts, (ie-tie rods, ball joints, steering shaft) but if everything is in good condition. You will have a noticable difference in your car's steering feedback and control.

I promise, it won't be to much longer on the "Cross-frame".
....
It does criss-cross the frame like the convertible x-frame, mounting at the same location on the front as the convertible, with different mounting in the rear.
....
Dave
Hi Dave.
I have a convertible. Do you intend your x-frame to be an upgrade for verts, or just an add on for people who don't already have one?

btw. I love the camber brace.

Can't say if it helps, the snow was flying when I put it in. It sure looks cool though. It took longer to install (about an hour) because I misread the instructions and was trying to slide it in from the passenger side. Also had to unload the weight off from one wheel to get the upper support bolt in. Very high quality, good looking piece.

Steve,

No problem on th GP price, although I will have to use USPS for shipping to be able to honor the pricing. If you want it quicker, give me a call and we can work something out.
