Any of you have a camber brace installed in your engine bay? They run about $220 to $270. If it doesn't do a whole lot it will make your engine compartment look cool.
Camber brace!

I looked into this a while ago, definitely not worth the cost. In other vehicles these things sell for way less and come with considerably greater design (pre-load adjustments, exotic materials, etc).
If anything with basic measurements any machine shop could fab this up for far less. If I get around to making one this summer and the design works well, I'll report back.
For reference, selling for 250US/320CAD not including shipping and duty

Interesting. I had no idea cars with A-Arm suspension could benefit from braces. Strut suspension cars on the other hand.......
I installed a camber brace into my black 1985 Corvette a while back for auto crossing. Along with the camber brace, I installed a larger rear sway bar, qa1 shocks, lowered the car and installed 315 35 17" tires on all four corners. I cannot specifically comment on how much the camber brace itself added to the overall suspension, but I did win a Western Canada auto crossing event at the National Convention in 2015.
I guess anything that stabilizes the platform can't hurt.
Magnet, congrats on your win, those competitions can be pretty intense and competitive.
