Driving Impressions: Lower Stress Bar - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

it really is a blast. i especially enjoy giving hot lap rides to porsche folks who have never been in a boxster. without a doubt they are absolutely FLOORED after the ride, usually with a comment like, "man, maybe i'll reconsider those cars!" most people, especially die hard 911 fanatics, are totally unaware of what these little monsters are capable of with a little bit of work.

Hi Insite Nice post, I'm thinking of fabricating a brace myself and I'd want to know what diameter the bar and screws are.

Thanks

the bar's about an inch in diameter and is pretty much solid. not sure about the bolts; maybe 7mm?

Hi, Had some time today so i made a rear lower brace, thought I'd share it if anyone is interested.

Installed it in 10 minutes

Hi, Went for a ride last night and again this morning on some more twisty roads and let me just say that the rear end feels more precise and tight less twisty, worth the $10.00 .

This is a must do for any Boxster,

Thanks Insite, this mod does way more than you lead us to believe.

That's incredible! How did you make your own lower stress bar?
