I talked with Chris at US Cartool about these strong looking inner fender brace kits. The video on his website is impressive.
He says it is not necessary on a stock component type suspension; but rather is meant to help with aftermarket k frame and coilover type suspensions.
There is a link in the Hot Deals and New Products section with video links.
Anyone see this yet?
Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen!
Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

I think there is more room than what is seen on the johnscudashop car.

I liked them so much that I bought me a set , to replace the XV type bars I have made .. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=3#Post6313383
You original design looks a bit too cantilevered to be as fully effective as a more triangulated design. You will probably realize an increase in rigidity with the Cartool units, not to mention some more wheel well space.

That's neat and demonstrates the effectiveness of the bracing, but after going to all the trouble to set that all up, I would have thought they would use a more standard industry measure such as degree of deflection per inch.
