6pt. Chassis Brace Installed - Thoughts
#18
I'm inclined to agree with these folks especially if you have a lot of potholes and drive like that, track or otherwise.
The sway bar and perhaps even the braces will only further unify the rear-end, limiting the effectiveness of a fully-independent suspension. It'll work well for smooth roads, but any imperfections will cause one side to follow the jump the other side experiences.

the problem is, i'm making this high-speed turn on the track and the rear-end begin to bounce but there are no visible imperfections on the road (it's not perfect, but it is rather smooth!)
I feel, I need to stiff up something, but I cannot afford changing springs/shocks (btw, I have new struts/shocks) because of the potholes on the main roads, so there are two options for me: 6pt brace and hotchkis swaybars.
I tried to use rear M-shape brace at winter, but didn't like it - too much oversteer, my rear-end wanted to travel into the turn more than front, especially dangerous on the ice.
And I read in the first post, that this 6pt brace has "Noticeably less oversteer. This caught me by surprise at first.", so it might help?

Well, before I got RWD rear sway, I experienced some understeer (BTW, I got front GTSpec strut brace and fiberglass underbody that works like some kind of a brace too). And after the installation I noticed that steering became more "neutural" in the turns and car feels more stable on the high-speed bumps and potholes.
I don't know, maybe you are right and it is the front bouncing on the high-speed turns on the track, while the rear-end is more solid and I should get Hotchkis sway bar set
