Autoexe Center Floor Bar, Trunk Brace, Torsion Beam Stiffeners & Lower arm bar

[brbk]

Installed the CS RSB along with some of these other parts this past week.

The CS RSB had a significant effect on tightening the rear. Really nice improvement over stock. Highly recommend this one.

The center floor brace might have made the largest single improvement in handling. Combined with everything else, its feeling very go kart like.

I haven't installed the lower arm bar yet, that will go on most likely this weekend.

Yes.

I had to trim the carpet around the mounting points which was quite a pain. If you don't trim the carpet, it won't sit flush against the metal on the mounting points.

If anyone is interested in the center floor brace. This is a very significant upgrade in terms of performance.

These are the instructions. Its a very simple install, just need torx bits for the bolts holding the seats down.

The seats are surprisingly light and just need to be shifted forward slightly to clear the mounting points. Its not necessary to unplug the harnesses connected to the seats.

Then you need to trim away the carpet so the mounting points sit flush against the metal. The carpet is very thick so have a sharp blade ready.

This is the stock torsion beam stiffener.

The first image in the first post of the thread is the autoexe replacement.

Couldn't wait for the weekend.

This was a pretty simple install.

Initial impressions, front end feels tighter and more solid over bumps with a more definitive thud. Turn in is more aggressive and sharp. I'll follow up after about 100 miles on it.
