Universal Chassis Brace

[khan4rtist]

Ive seen a universal chassis brace on some sites, especially on AftermarketAveo.com

I forget who is the person that runs that site, sorry, but I was wondering if it is adjustable because it says "Universal". I bet maybe some other people are wondering too.

I may pick one up now since my interior is completely stripped.

i wounder if its possible to get a 'low porfile' one sorta made outta flat bar or sumthin. i would definately get one IF it wasnt so damn bulky and take so much back seat footspace

thanks Mike... heh

We actually don't know that yet. Y2Daniel saw it on a different website listed for the Aveo, and one or our distributors had it available so we added it to the site. We have been meaning to order one to see what it looks like and fitment, as well as to make one so that instead of being universal it is bolt-in specifically for the Aveo...

BTW, Khan, if you end up getting a new engine, can I have yours? Will pay for shipping and don't need anything with it, just the block, head, oil pan and valve cover...

hehe ill see, hopefully my rods arent bent from the engine trying to compress water....fek if it goes to a good cause like making a turbo or something than yeah i wouldnt mind giving it to you

Yup it will... Don't even need it capable of running, just need it for fitment testing and such... maybe use the block and head for sizing a stroker kit or something down the road too...

well i did get the motor running, have you found out anything about the brace Xtreme?

It will fit...

Look down on the suspension page just a bit at the thread "Mid-Brace" and you'll see I brought it to your attention


It uses that compression nut in the middle to spread the bar apart. I also recommend using self-tapping sheet metal screws to install it on the b-pillar bases.
