Yeah the brace is a PITA lol. It's worth it though

[@alejandrowilcox763]

I have a question. (off topic from this video ) but have you ever tought of changing out the throttle body spacer and intake manifold spacer ? Im thinking about getting both from boomba but i heard there is no gain from it and its also a pain to install them .

[@JonnyBarajas]

The throttle body and intake manifold spacers are used for extra injector capabilities for port injection fueling to run over 300hp. I have an intake manifold spacer with a single injector. The spacers themselves don't increase hp or torque in this case. Yes, the intake manifold spacer is a pain to remove and line up.

Donde puedo conseguir la barra de 6 puntos Where can I buy this 6 point brace?

[@manuelgarcia1835]

Hi, what charge pipes are you using that clears the 6 point brace?

[@JonnyBarajas]

ATP hot side charge pipe.

Thanks

Did you install the rear sway bar or nah? Does it understeer a lot with the 6 point on there?

[@JonnyBarajas]

We did add a rear sway bar later on. The 6-point actually is what removed the torque steer almost completely.

[@mikeynguyen4329]

@@JonnyBarajas cool! I'm debating on whether or not to add a rear sway... So I have a 6 pt Brace now. Would adding just the front sway bar with the Brace be too much understeer?

[@JonnyBarajas]

@@mikeynguyen4329 The rear sway bar allows for controlled oversteer when turning fast and removes a center spin feel when turning. Front sway bar helped with the body roll, and the brace and alignment will help with torque steer. Understeer shouldn't be a concern at all, and a set of sticky tires at 200 tread wear will help with understeer if you are thinking about it.

Does the brace stick out under the car? Like if you went over a tall speed bump, will it scrape or hit the ground?

[@JonnyBarajas]

Only comes down about an inch or two. Maxed out on b-spec coilovers and never even think about scraping. But definitely the lowest point of the car.

[@mattbouhuys2929]

Jonny The Car Doctor awesome. Good to hear. I’ll probably pick one up, I’ve heard good things. Can’t wait to see your FIST fully built!

[@arsmusica23]

After installing my front sway bar, my car makes all types of creaking noises…does that mean it was installed incorrectly?

[@JonnyBarajas]

That might be something else. I got a clunk on speed bumps when my top endlink bolt was loose. Apart from that, never made noises.
