Not really an article but thought I should put this here as an FYI for anyone that has wondered what's the point to fender braces and do I really need bracing...

yes, yes you do.





My car was perfectly straight, then I went and got silvia coil-overs, running 8.7kg/mm on the front with the shox set to max... just some daily driving, a few potholes and I could swear I could see the nose of the car tipping up for a split second on rough bits of road.

So, I took the fender off to contemplate how I should make a fender brace and discovered a nice crease where the lateral frame meets the longitudinal.

Hope this helps
