SSD now makes a chassis bar for us

They mainly make stuff for the kia assoul, but now they got a front chassis bar. It looks similar to the TB Performance bar.

The front under chassis bar does make a nice improvement in hard corner handling. I did front and mid under chassis braces along with a rear upper shock brace and it made my canyon handling much more controlable and predictable. Also gave it enough oversteer to be able to kick the rear end out when braking on tight turns so I added a front strut brace to tone it down a bit.

If you guys like what they've got for Kia's, maybe you can hit them up to make more things for Scion.

Make sure to post pics before and after install. I'm seriously considering buying this as soon as I sell some stuff on ebay. Their front strut tower bar for the Soul looks seriously sexy as well! Maybe I didn't see it, but does anyone have their email? I would love to email them and ask and see if a similar strut bar can be made for our xB's...

Fyi I have those braces and I needed a pry bar to get one of them on. I like them, but the paint tb uses isn't all that great imo. Woulda been better if they were powder coated.

Yeah, the paint is cheap wrinkle finish. I've scratched it off in a few places in the trunk from hauling stuff around, wierdly enough the lower braces have done fine except when I've scraped.

Didn't have to pry any of my braces on except the lower front but my ex had crashed the front end at one point so I don't know how much blame I can put on the brace since it actually looked straighter after it was put on.
