Default custom fabricated suspension stuff..

has anyone fabricated up there own front strut brace, phb, sfc, etc. it doesnt look to difficult if you had something to mock off of. i have machine shop access three days a week and 4 migs and 2 tigs, pipe benders, all kinds of presses and saws. so it wouldnt be anything to reproduce, just wandering if anyone else has seen what i have and has actually done it?

if you search around, i know i've seen a few people have fabbed adj. t/as and panhard bars......you can buy the spherical rod ends and whatnot.....i've modified both the ta's/dsl's i've had, but have yet to do anything from scratch....i can't imagine it would be very hard to build a strut tower brace from scratch

I know of some people making subframe connectors too.

Some of the stuff is so simple, its amazing what they sell; such as LCA and APHB....its a tube with some rod ends....oh well
