OEM brace vs aftermarket strut bar.
Just installed a Blitz upper front tower bar, but as I looked at it after I installed it, it’s seems the oem has more support) ....
just wanted everyone’s opinion if the OEM 3 point has more support than the 2 point strut bar has.
I plan in the future to purchase all the TOM’S under support braces, I’d figure that would help out a little.

I couldn’t tell much difference from oem to Blitz. Car felt about the same on track.
Cosmetically I do like blitz better.
The Toms chassis braces do help if you track. On the street, I’d doubt you could feel any difference.

I purchased all the braces from Toms, it bother me that the front tower bar I have is Blitz.... in your guys opinion, would you stick with the Blitz or put the OEM back on.... is it really confirmed that Toms does not have a LHD front brace for the RCF?

^^^ That looks right! Was thinking about having one made but now I don’t have to!
Ron, your hand made one is just so purty. You’re not seriously wanting to get rid of that, right?
Doubt on the road anyone can tell the difference from one to the next.

We will be formally introducing it next week. Intro price around $400.
Brace eliminates the flexy RCF cross bar on the firewall and bolts directly to firewall.
Every brace is custom powder coated to your color choice.

Multi piece Bars with bolted pivots are useless.... as are RCF braces that eliminate the firewall supports.

Just to give you guys an idea of the craftsmanship that goes into making our new line of chassis braces.... all joints are laser mitred, and welds are hand TIG welded, and of course made in USA!

Our ISF brace doesn’t attach to firewall because we didn’t feel like the ISF firewall was structural as it is flexy. But our ISF brace is still functional as it’s 1 piece & multi-beam construction is much stiffer than any other brace in bending and especially torsion.
