Korbach Frame Locks

[rmcdaniels]

Anyone try them? I've seen a couple reviews that like them and a couple that don't think they do anything. Here's the link if you haven't seen them:

And here's a review and some pics of the install:

rotfl, tell us how you really feel. ;)

I've read a few good reviews of it... probably crap though.

The problem with reviews is that this is marketed as a "performance" item to non-performance drivers who put it on their daily drivers, so that's exactly the kind of reviews you'll get... either they'll have the illusion that they feel a difference, or they wont. But it that doesn't really matter either way because they don't know what they are talking about and "feel" doesn't mean "performance" anyway. So, good or bad, the reviews are trash.

But just looking at the pictures tells me that this is just silly... it attempts to stiffen the area around the frame rails, which is already the stiffest thing on the car. If you want to reduce the flex between the rails, do it the right way and add a real support between them... don't just partially brace a connection that's already pretty stiff in an half-baked attempt to use existing metal to bear the load. While the metal between the frame rails at the front is decent, what's at the rear is pretty weak and it's not going to do shit, no matter how much you brace it's connection to the frame rails.

true that, i'm almost sure that the crossmember for my traction bars does just as much, if not more.

Honda Tuning had pretty good things to say about them. I'd like to think that those guys have some idea what they're talking about.

The Korbach guys definetly seem to know what they're talking about, but I think they might be a little biased.

Just because it's in a ricey magazine does not mean they know what they are talking about. I've seen some incredibly ignorant things end up in magazines and pretty much every other form of the media. Like most people, they tend to have an exceptional lack of knowledge when it comes to handling. They have no more qualifications to objectively and properly review a handling part than the average ricer moron. But if you want to waste your money on this or any other handling "upgrades" for your street car, then I'm sure you can find someone to take your money.

You wont see it on real race cars and you wont see it in a respectible, qualified, magazine such as Grassroots or SportsCar.
