The intent was to keep the steering box and shaft from tearing out of the car when cornering. It sits up front between the swaybar and the frame. It bolts to the steering box on the left and the frame on the right.

It bolts on under the front of the car and holds the 2 sides of the frame together...

I always thought it was supposed to push up on the front fascia to make the headlights look bigger :sillylol:

Is this more for cornering? Building mine more for strip than anything, for the price I'm going to put one on anyway just to help tie the front end together. But for straight ahead driving would it be just adding weight?

I know the IROC had them from the factory, and I'd imagine the TA's and Z28's did too.
