US Vendor for DMC Europe LCA Stiffening Brackets?

[jawn101]

Is there a US vendor that has something like these?

Planning a suspension overhaul and wondering if these are worth adding. I already have a new steering rack and springs at all 4 corners, was going to get the DPNW poly bushing kit for the sway bars and the Avo shocks from Grady.

Are these a worthwhile addition?

Oh, OK. I didn't see them on your site Rob. Thanks. What is your opinion of them? Worthwhile addition?

These were backordered but just came in. I haven't installed a set yet but ordered them based on positive feedback from others. I can't try them on my Green car as I've had the Mike Loasby prototype set on it since '94 but the design concept is similier and they were a major improvement in rigidity and handling. I especially like the major reduction in "bump steer" that a triangulated design affords. I expect these will offer the same benefits.

I've had support brackets on my car since Ed first developed the concept. They definitely helped reduce the bump steer affect, but not likely to the level of Rob's setup. The only issue I had was the bars migrating inward towards the shock tower. I fixed that with heavy duty large area backing washers. And 1/2 longer bolts. PM me if you would be interested in the bolts and special washers I used.

I run these. Luckily they came BC (before children) when i had disposal income and I did everything - new ball joints, Toby's poly bushings, and also Toby's strut tower brace.

Ed has some great products and i am glad he is part of the community, but damn that is a lot of money for some brackets.

I got and installed Ed's brackets.... what a huge difference. Anyone who doesn't have these should get them. Strong statement, I know. You'll be a believer instantly.

I've said it time and time again that I love these brackets. I've been running them since 2008 and at this point am spoiled by them. I'm always surprised any time I drive a DeLorean that doesn't have them.

+1000. Seriously awesome. It used to nosedive under heavy braking, now I can slam on the brakes from 80-0 on the highway without my cellphone even sliding forward on the center console. Front end vibration is all but gone. Turning is more responsive. It even corrected the slight feeling of the center of gravity shifting when changing gears.

Granted, I also replaced 16 total bushings in the LCAs, rear links and sway bar - both lower ball joints and all 4 shocks at the same time. But I think these brackets are what made the biggest difference.

I have Josh's Spec 1 set up and his are adjustable. I'm loving it!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170822/f198140bb43d18e2b0b038cb12c7b8c0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170822/c19c198d24d0b419ff871afe3ae618d0.jpg

Ditto to what Nick & Dennis have said. A great upgrade if you drive your car. And I guess now pretty eye candy too now that they are available in stainless. Been running them back when Cliff sold Ed's brackets here in the states and provided the larger washers and longer bolts.
