Did you try the OEM 03 cobra brace ?

Add the cover brace from the same car and you're set. Waaaayyy cheaper than the so called mn12 specific stuff.

I already have a cover brace in inventory.

I'm gathering parts up to stiffen the chassis/suspension.

This is a thread resurrection, but did you ever try the 03 cobra unit that J suggested? I'm wondering if the spacing between the rear control arms is the same.

 

[driller]

Yes I did try the Cobra brace.

No it does not fit.

The spacing between the rear control arms is different.

It has been modified twice now and still doesn't fit. Next chance will be on the white '96.

 

[95blklsc]

Hmmmm I kind of figured it would need modifying. If you do get it to work a few pictures with the mods needed for it to fit would be great. Is it too wide or too narrow?

 

[driller]

I recall it being too wide.

 

[95blklsc]

Ballpark estimate of how much too wide?

 

[driller]

I think it was between 1-2 inches.
