These braces will increase the rigidity of the front section of the car and provide a much stiffer platform so the BC Coilovers can be more effective when driving fast.
We had to make some plates to provide a thicker material for the braces to bolt to, as the metal on the upper section is very thin. We first marked the area where the plates were to be spot welded on and the used a holesaw to provide holes large enough for the nuts we welded to the back side of each plate. Once the plates were in place we then were careful to only weld in a few spots as we didn't want to burn through the thin sheetmetal. By using an oval hole in the plate we were able to increase the number of welds and provide a more secure footing for the brace.
Next up is the final fitting of the rear disc conversion park cable brackets.
