is there a list of parts he makes anywhere? so far i've seen tow hooks, rear bar, harness bar, under bars, trans mounts... what else is there?

is there something similar to a subframe connector? i can feel the frame flex just driving around town with my finger on the door frame lol.

Undercar rails are basically sub frame connectors...the harness bar also helps alot with flex

I went with the street bar since I don't autox and i'm not really that hardcore... street bar works great for me and i noticed a big difference right away in onramps and interchanges. Great product if you're not doing competetive driving.

So if you guys don't get oversteer from the hardcore bar, should I might as well get the hardcore bar instead of the street bar being that my car is my DD?

Harness bar is nuts night and day. I installed mine and the only thing that moves now in corners is my butt in the seat. Once I get some extra cash I plan on getting the powell swaybar and undercar rails. Every product ive boughten from him has been a noticeable difference in its respective place.

I was actually about to ask about the harness bar and I know youve had one for a while. I just emailed Gloria about one yesterday. Was it really that big a change?

honestly it was very noticeable. I live in new england, and there is back country roads ALL over the place. I went throwing the car into the corners and you could feel the car was much more rigid above the doors.

gmsc is gm sport compact dot net. Big section on powell there

Harness bar -





Undercar rails I dont have yet, they connect from the front and back on either side of the car by bolts and chemical bonding. Also have jacking points making jacking the car cake

just to clarify... ive you install the harness bar wrong you will pull the b pillar out of alignment and the door wont latch right... if that tells you the terms of rigidty it give the car.

i got it all... powells a good friend of mine. the subframe rails fit like a glove and are awesome. jacking point was a big thing for me.
