Chassis rigidity? A stiff structure allows the suspension to work better. If your chassis flexes, it’s basically a big undamped spring that changes your suspension geometry under load and shudders every time you hit a bump. A stiff chassis will give your suspension a solid platform to work from, leading to better, more predictable handling as well as improved ride quality. There really is no downside. Chassis stiffness is usually measured as torsional rigidity – resistance to twist – because that’s how loads usually travel through a car.
These braces slide over the factory frame rails and stiffen the car dramatically. The factory rails are easily damaged over bumps and mistakes when jacking, and every time they are bent the car gets floppier.
Ground clearance is unaffected and the total added weight to the car is negligible.
No welding is required for installation although these can be drilled for welding or bolted in like all the others. Fits all 1990-2000 cars as well as the 2001-02 cars without the Sport bracing. Sport cars and 2003-05 Miatas can use the braces although one of the factory cross bars has to be removed. The factory bar can be retained with a slight modification. If your factory rails have been damaged, they may need some massaging with a hammer to allow these to slip over top.
Miatas are naturally the only thing we can guarantee fitment on. If you’d like to try them on a different car, the cross-section of the frame rails can’t be bigger than 2.65″ x 1.875″. Our rails are 43″ long (longest dimension).
