Since its
release, the
redesigned
Tunnel
Reinforcement
Plate has
been one of
the hottest
suspension
mods for the
C5 and C6
Corvette.
Installed
on both the
C5R and C6R
Race
Corvettes,
it has been
proven over
and over
again to
reduce the
amount of
torsional
flex in the
chassis. In
addition,
our ceramic
coating adds
another
benefit by
offering
some heat
shielding
from your
exhaust
system.
The
engineers at
General
Motors
acknowledged
the benefits
of a stiffer
more rigid
Tunnel
Reinforcement
Plate and
improved
their
original
design and
incorporated
something
similar into
the new
C6.
We have
Taken their
design one
step
further!

Featured in
both
Corvette

magazine.
We have
re-engineered
the
undercarriage
tunnel plate
on the
C5 and C6
with
strength and
performance
in mind. CAD
designed and
computer
precision
cut, our
1/4” thick
(6061-T6
Aluminum)
“Abs-of-Aluminum”
Tunnel
Reinforcement
Plate is
twice the
thickness of
the stock
OEM plate.
The
benefits of
this added
thickness is
a much more
rigid and
stiffer
tunnel
plate.
Therefore
reducing the
amount of
flex in the
chassis and
improving
the overall
functionality
of the
Corvette
suspension.
