Hi Dave,

Just so people know, I really like the firmness that the cross-bar and camber-brace gave to my 92 vert. Great products!

Camber Brace and Cross Bar (now I have their S/T Frame Support) are great additions to stiffening up the car!

As of right now we do not have a version that will work with a SC. We are looking for a car to proto-type off of. How close are you to St. Louis?

If you don't have an electric waterpump on your LT4, then you will need the standard Camber-brace. It will be $160 plus $12.50 shipping for a total of $172.50.

Give me a call if you have any questions or would like to place an order.

Thanks,
Dave

If you guys autocross or do DE events, your handling mods need to start here! Dave is the best and his products absolutely work! Even if you don't race, the handling during 'back road driving adventures' will be greatly improved. Paul

Thanks Neil,

Nows the time to get one for your Z. I just received a load of steel and the price went up again. After this August special I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to offer this price again. At least not until the cost of steel goes down, which is not going to happen now that they have it up there.

I put a camber brace on my 88 vert a couple of years ago. It did make a difference. Now I see a different brace for the C4 vert instead of the standard brace. Whats the difference?

BTW the 88 is gone and I will need one for my 96 LT4 vert when it gets here.

Paul,

I'm not sure that I follow your question. There are different Camber-braces for different years of cars, plus yhere is an electric waterpump version for the LT-1/LT-4's.

Give me a call to get in on the special for your 96. The sale endson the 31st.

Thanks,
Dave

I have to agree with everyone in here Daves products really help the camber brace makes the front end feel the way it should and Dave's directions for putting it in make it an easy thing to do. The Cross Bar is great as well and agin the instructions for instalation help a ton. Dave are you planning on coming to the MWCS in Burlington on October 2 and 3? I saw the beautiful yellow thumper at the Waukeshau Autocross I had the Silver 96. Oh yeah and by the way Dave was the fastest guy there. So if your thinking about improving the handleing of your car this is the place to start.

Ordered my camber brace today! After thinking more and more about prices going up, I decided I'd better just get it now before it's too late... Nothing like waiting til the last minute!!! By the way, the lady I spoke with on the phone was very friendly - the website looks nice, too. Great company! Thanks Dave (et al)!!!
