Front frame brace

Do they reproduce those front chassis braces? I thought I had found them once aftermarket but I can’t find the link I had.

Does anybody sell just the front cross piece under the rad? Already have the other 2.

Not that I know of.

The UMI part does look pretty beefy compared to the factory jounce bars. Does the pretty lady in the video deliver/install them for you? I’ve already got everything of theirs installed. Does the improvement justify the high price?

You can't say you have "full UMI suspension " unless you have them. 😉

I always wondered about the front brace, since the rear brace is such a noticeable improvement. I made stiffer front fender braces out of electrical tubing that helped also. One thing that's been on my radar after working on a buddy's 78 Trans Am is a brace from the front A- arm rear mount to the frame rail I'm not sure how much flex is there, but it was factory on the Trans Am.

Theres an A arm brace thing on my 84 caprice and I have no idea if it does anything at all

I figured if it would be beneficial, the aftermarket would have jumped all over it.

Yes, you can definitely feel a difference for a street car, especially one that is meant to handle.
