Stealth Custom Fab. S13 tension arm brace - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Jonnie Fraz* · 05-17-2007, 05:17 PM

Ok you Preemies that have been following along know that I have developed a bolt in tension arm brace for the S13. This brace is a way to stiffen up the frontend of the S13 allowing more turn in and better braking. Also this design does not require removal of your tension arms, Sway bar or, tension arm brackets. It is about a half an hour install.
Here are the parts and the massive amount of tools required for install.

Installation is simple, using existing holes in the OEM brackets.

That is the install. Super simple.

My first Group Buy will be for ten braces.
This is an open group buy so I ship as soon as I get paid

mestizo · 05-20-2007, 02:23 PM

Hey just want to say that Jon is a great guy, he built my front brace for me and it works great! Plus he let me come by and watch while he made it, man can he weld. Thanks again Jon!

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 05-20-2007, 02:38 PM

DON'T sleep in this! i just installed it for a drift event and locked up my front end completely, and made it so predictable! easy to install and cheaper then any "gismo" power brace! i went from spinning out to this:

i loved the feel of and when combined with subframe spacers the car just whips around whenever you tell it to! i love this brace. get one now!

I have an ST front swaybar on my S13 - will this clear the bar?

Here is a pic of the welded version that Jon made for me on my car, the cross bar is in the same spot as on the bolt on version, there is about 1 3/4" of space between the stock sway bar and the cross bar. So all you would need to do is figure out how much thicker your ST bar is than the stock bar. Hope this helps.

hellion240sx · 06-01-2007, 12:05 PM

so whats a u "weld" type?

mestizo · 06-01-2007, 12:47 PM

Im not sure what he means by "U weld" but my brace was welded by Jon, it was the 2nd one he made of the welded version. However he is just making the bolt in kind so that people do not have to send him their TC brackets, but you can always get the bolt on version and have some one weld it for you.

satal95 · 06-01-2007, 01:23 PM

price shipped to 78237 please

scottie · 06-01-2007, 11:34 PM

The "U Weld" as i refered to it is the one above that all welded. It should be a little cheaper since you dont have the bolts and stuff. It should just come with the cross bar and two plates as in the picture. Then i can weld it myself. Will he make them? Seems like a good idea to offer both.
