Got bored last night... after jon remembered how much he hates doing wiring. So instead we decided to fab up a quick and easy piece for fun...

I'm going to go for some test drives and check it out, see if it makes any kind of difference on the ae86... Design changes may happen too

. More beef anyone?
EDIT: Just got back from test driving. I took it off and put it back on a few times to really feel out how it's affected my car.
I can safely say it did make a difference. Instead of the front end of my car flexing and leaning over the tire, I can feel my front end transfer the weight onto the tire. It's introduced some understeer/push to my setup as the ONLY item changed. I ran it through the same corners, same road, same speeds both with and without.
It's only a slight amount of understeer, and many drivers may not pick up on it. It does not affect braking or accel unless its during a turn.
I was suprised to be able to make out a difference, since I still have the USDM AE86 bumpers and with their 5mph (more like 35mph) reinforcements. There is already a lot of strength upfront with that still being there. I'm sure the difference would be a LOT more if I had jdm bumpers, which are 2 seperate brackets.
