will the rksport subframe brace fit on 2003-2005 cavis? I found the part listed for older models on gravana but it does not show up for 03 and up. can anyone help with some useful information?
I have been wondering the same thing. All the places I have seen says it will only fit certain models (not 03-05) but I dont know why it wouldnt because for the most part all j-body suspensions are the same.
if i recall correctly, the subframe (cradle) has bracing added from the factory for those years. I assumed it is the panel with the large (2-3") holes punched in it?
Yeah, itll fit all Jbody years.. THey pretty much have the same subframe.

UFlip06 said it best: Just look underneath the engine and if you see big hairy balls it's a 2.4 Twin Cam, if they're shaved it's an Ecotec and if you see nothing it's a 2200!
Yes I want to know as well.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
i found! gravanatuning.com has them for like around $100 shipped. idk, jason at a+ might still be able to get them as well tho, might be cheaper.

I cant find the subframe brace on gravanatuning.com , can you post up a link? I have a 2002
Beware the Rouge Dragon.
I was asking this b/c I got the part# for Jason @ A+ to see if he could get it. I just need to know if it will fit on 03+. Hopefully there is someone on here that has put it on their car.......or tried to.
These are easy to make yourself. Use square tube stock and a welder, or 80/20 if you don't have a welder.
'99 Z24, Manual
steel or aluminum (6061) square or retangle stock,
something to cut it
drill
measuring tape
grade 5 bolts, washers and nuts
if you do a lil search you'll find a post about a homemade subframe brace. with pictures.
if someone wants to argue that the aluminum is weak I have pictures that will tell you otherwise. I got mine from a plae that makes boat trailers and had them cut it for me. if will hold up a 115 ft boat it will hold my car.
yeah, my aluminum one better be strong. It has taken a beating this winter. The only problem is, the snow is too high in my parking spot still, so I haven't had a chance to go under there and take a look at it
well, rk sport is still selling their's i sent funds out friday for mine. it was $89.95 shipped.

I just got my Rk brace this afternoon. I'm wondering about the color change too. Install on thursday
And thanks to Aaron at TTR for getting it to me fast.
Still waiting for my strut tower braces though *crosses fingers*
