Kirban rear seat braces

Most of the old school tr crowd already know, but the new generation will probably use the forums when building their passed-on regals. To the newbs, install these ASAP. Kirban's comes with radiator hose pieces to reduce the noise if/when the braces touch--a nice gesture to include. Kudos for that. The results are without question, I have a hardtop car and noticed immediate results with a stiffer rear end so I can only imagine the benefits rewarded to t-top cars. Every Gbody should install this, serious help in stiffening the chassy.

Nero,
I’m glad they worked for you; unfortunately they didn’t do a thing for my GN. Hey I’ve only put 30,000 since I bought it new in 86 and it always has rattled at the front post even with the t-tops adjusted real tight. A few months ago I had new GM body bushing put on as well as the Kirban’s front and rear body braces and the car still rattles as bad after as before. So maybe they helped a hard top car but for a t-top car, I’d say don’t waste your money.
