The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

[Grinder34]

hmm, hadn't thought or heard much about trunk chassis bracing before now.

Yeah, the trunk brace is great. I didn't have the bar, just the cheap-o X and I highly recommend it....unless you're constantly using the trunk pass-through for bulky items. I could've sworn I did a write up in my journal, but can't find it.

Shopping list was basically:
4x bolts that screw into existing holes
2x turnbuckles
2 short lenghts of steel cable
4x cable crimp thingies (i forget the real name)
Assorted metal/nylon washers as deemed necessary.

Bam, project done 30 min later.

Omg i totally forgot about a trunk brace! I did the home-depot "chassis bridge" and it stopped about a million creaks I would get everyday. Cost like $15. :tup::tup::tup:

random chime in.

i wrote a detailed DIY chassis bridge in the how to section. made a huge difference in how it felt around turns

Yeah, no trunk through to worry about for me

OK, moar parts incoming.

Take pictures of the parts when they come in and when you install them! :tup:

Shifter and bushings will make a big difference in feel.
