lateral arm brace (rear) and gas additives...

**mgbrillo** · May 2nd, 2006 10:42 PM

tanong ko lang kung may (significant) handling performance if i install a lateral arm brace (rear). i already have a rear strut bar (have a front as well). also, does anybody here have used/tried gas additives? would it improve gas mileage? would it be good for the engine in the long run?

as for the brace, wala ako alam. sa additives, afaik, parang engine flush lang yan and the likes, mapapagastos ka lang kahit na hindi mo na kailangan. kung mag-aadditive ka, mag-synthetic motor oil ka na lang...

What car? Depends on how hard you want it. Making the rear ultra stiff improves handling, but maing it too stiff will make it kind of snappy.

So-so lang ang gas additives. To achieve the cleaning effect, just top off with the best gas you can buy... high octane already has detergent properties. Just make sure it's not pure race gas, as that can damage sensors...

thanks.. its a 350z. nagiipon pa ako for a suspension kit (kung su-swertihin, nismo, so i could still retain the warranty). for the meantime, i was looking at this lateral arm brace :D

gas additives pala yung tanong.

same pa rin tol, gastos lang yan. psychological effect lang mararamdaman mo.

Ah... 350Z? Then I guess it's a decent mod... mukhang cheap lang naman (had to look it up) but it seems you have to have an aftermarket exhaust installed for it to clear.

And if you are getting an exhaust kit to clear the brace, might as well get a K&N induction kit, too.
