Yes WHITECAVY, they're Baer and I love'em. I'm planing on do my front soon. About the Subframe I put some spacers because without them it was to close to the engine and I thought it could harm it.

what the hell would be the purpose of a subframe brace??? just wondering yet again since nobody wanted to answer the question the first time. thanks in advance

Eduard, as upper front and rear strut bars stiffens the chassis of your car and reduces twist and roll of the frame and body, which will improve the stability and handling of your vehicle for better turning and road feel, the lower subframe brace or conector was designed to provide the missing link in the front suspension. It fills the gap between the two lower arms which reduces deflection and helps to eliminate unwanted wheel hop. Remember, every time you stiffen your chassis you will improve handling, not necesarily you will get a soften ride but you should get better handling. Hope this helps you now.

Yeah, put me on the list for a K-brace too, even if it's totally rough and needs the welds ground down. I'm always game for grinding on some welds.
