Post 16 and 17 refer to a NISMO LCAB, although it sounds like it hangs real low - another good item for the Suspension Manifesto as well.
Shawn, if you do update with this info - you may want to grab the pic from that thread as well, that post isn't too old - but on a related note, I got there from reading about the IKEA brace, and those pics are long gone. |
Well, hell yes I'm gonna add it.
Love...Suspension Manifesto. *chuckle*
I already grabbed the picture, good advice. I'll upload and insert this information later this weekend. I am working over the next few days.
Uh...once again, you rock. I literally want everything about our suspensions crammed into this thread. One source, as many answers as humanly possible. Thank you once again for your help.

So basically the only harness bar you should be using is one thats on a roll bar.

Late coming back to this.
Can you (or somebody smart like you...Mike K, Racing Forum Members with experience, etc....) please elaborate? So all these "harness bars" are flat-out unsafe without a proper roll bar/cage? I see them being used on the forum quite a bit for street use.
No cage/roll bar = no harness bar?
No harness bar = no 5 pt seat belts?
No 5 pt seat belts on the street?
Please discuss at length on this topic gentlemen.
I know the stuff about no cage or rollbar on a DD. Unpadded even worse. Use roll bars/cages only with a helmet. etc..etc... I have a whole section on it with quotes from various magazines. You can read what I have already included in the thread. I would love to put down some definitive answers on this stuff. The safety of our forum members is paramount.
Please remember I know next to nothing. LOL.
