Going to be buying a 87 iroc in a few weeks, I know I've seen this brace on a car before but dont know what it's for and what it's called. Anyone have an idea?

Yea that's what came to my mind when I saw it but I was like nah it ain't a 1LE no way. Lol I'm not that lucky, but the car is most likely an IROC.

Yeah, it's a Z28 (and IROC) only option. My 83Z has it, as well as some other small brace that goes from the passenger subframe to about the middle of the fender, near the bottom of the overflow tank.
I've read a lot on here and come up with NOBODY knows what they are actually for...but if GM thought they were necessary then that's saying something (considering how flexible these F-bodies are)
