Maybe the amount is negligible in terms of practical life, but I rather doubt even that, as you'd see the OEM braces being removed from the cars if only for the benefit of a quieter cabin. Removing chassis braces (or allowing more chassis movement) will not result in a longer lasting chassis, nor will it make the suspension 'work better'; quite the opposite, in fact. |
Sorry, "attacking" might not been the right word for it, but early in the morning with Engrish, it's kinda hard to find the right word.
That's the thing, I'm not saying allowing more chassis movement. Like someone posted, this thing only move <0.1mm. Only thing this strut is doing is absorbing the stress/vibration coming from the chassis (front suspension area) while reducing unnecessary flex.
That in "theory" help last chassis life... but how much? Maybe extra day or two than one without it? IDK
