It doesn't do a whole lot as far as handling is concerned. It is pretty much just for the looks.

Helped me. I can corner much better now, like 10 mph more through corners. And the LCAs and PHR were great too.

When I got mine, I took it for a spin around the neighborhood first. Came back, slapped it on, did the the neighborhood spin again. There was a difference when cornering (nothing drastic) and when entering the driveway at an angle. Given how cheap they are, how well they're made, choice of color, etc.. I'm very happy with it.

another happy customer here.

seemed to notice it most on uneven roads...stiffened up the chassis a bit.

and it gives a nice hand hold for working on the engine

had a buddy get towed out of a ditch by his too...if they had hooked to the frame the chain would have been pulling up at a 30* angle from under his front fender...bending the shiit out of it. so he had them hook to the STB...pulled him out no problem and then he just stripped it and painted it again. lol

Can't beat em for the price. It stiffened up the front end for me, which at the time was a concern. So, I'm very happy with mine.

well for the one who saidit was for looks, there is this winding road i take home from work everyday before install i could take the curves at 70 max after install i can now do 80 and the front dives into the curve now so it helped me and it was proven i have been driving this road for 6 years everyday and the fastes was 70 and that was pushing it now i do 80 easy

I installed mine a few years ago and was very pleased with the brace construction as well as the function. The front end is alot tighter (especially over railroad tracks, etc). Well worth the $$ and would recommend BMR to anyone.

I will go with BMR SFC's when I get them.... in the very near future!!
