As the title says, I'm doing a major suspension overhaul in my BK and would like to stiffen things up. Has anyone tried using the chassis braces for a GC or GD with success on their BD/K? I'm not talking about the strut tower braces, I mean the fender/ladder/lower control arm H brace type braces.
Thanks!

Fender Brace = No unless you drill out the holes in the unibody to support the brace.
H brace = No (GD) Maybe (GC) requires cutting to fit.. not worth it
Rear diff brace = GC YES
Ladder = ?? are you talking about the H brace?
If you search for hours you will eventually find the thread that talks about all of these items and how they don't fit without lots of massaging and drilling.
The rear diff brace from Cusco or the knock offs on ebay fit as long as there ment for the GC style.
The reason the H-brace does not work is because its designed for the turbo x-member.

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I think I'll get a buddy to weld me some NA-specific ones, motor swap is a loooooong time in the future.
