TCP's Export Brace Installation - Brace Yourself

We Continue Our Total Control Products Project with Chassis-Strengthening UpgradesBolting an upgraded suspension to your early Ford isn't going to help things much if your chassis is flexing all over the place. The suspension needs a firm foundation to work off of, otherwise the suspension's movement transfers directly to the flexing chassis. Instead of a better handling car, you get a ride that is unpredictable in the corners and twitchy over anything but perfect roads. (And when was the last time you saw a perfectly paved road? We thought so.) We've actually raised early Mustangs with a floor jack in the front and have measured shock tower deflection. This is why Ford installed simple stamped-steel braces from the shock towers to the firewall in the first place. But spirited driving needs more supportive solutions, which is why the export brace and Monte Carlo bar were used more than four decades ago and continue to be a popular upgrade today. Now Total Control Products (TCP) has gone a few steps further in updating the classic chassis-stiffening devices, making them stronger, tying them together, and making them adjustable too.
