Boss Frog 'Frog Arms'
When you first receive these braces they are very good quality. THe welds that are one them are good and the brace itself is sturdy yet light.
Installing these requires take the fenders off to get access to the mounting points.
To take the fenders off put the front of the car on jack stands and start by taking off the wheels.
The next step is taking off the inner fender liner. This is easily done by unscrewing the plastic plugs and pulling them out.
The next step is to get on to removing the fender. The instructions give a ok whereabouts as to where the
bolts are but its pretty self explanatory. Be sure to remove the bolts ontop of the front bumper so u can reach one of the hard to get fender bolts.
Once the fender is off all you have to do is pull out the wiring out of the grommet, and remove the required bolts from the instructions.
Once installed put fender back on the do the other side. Then wheels back on and drive
The install itself is pretty easy. It just takes time.
Frist drive:
As soon as i installed them i quickly dropped my car and took it for a drive. As soon as you take the first corner you can feel it.
The steering is much more sharper and direct, there is less body roll and the front scuttle shake is gone.
Even when driving over train tracks its 3 times better to say the least. Less shimmy at high speeds.
