Thumbs up KG Differential Brace -- AWESOME!!!

Well, aside from the install, this brace is awesome!
Pros:
-Stiffer chasis
-Reduced wheel hop
-The rear end feels much more "solid"
-Crisper shifts

Cons:
-If you have a stock main cat, it can be a bitch to install (heat sheild gets in the way along with the hanger)
-Increased drivetrain noise
-Vibrations at ~6,000RPM

I must say, the pros outweigh the cons heavily. I would highly reccomend this brace to anyone who has a "loose" feeling rear end (no pun intended).

Where'd you buy it and how much did it cost?

I agree, like add a parts review section up there with the dyno sheets and time slips thread. I have seen alot of parts reviews lately.

Yeah, this mod really isn't for the weak of heart, as the increase in drivetrain noise and vibration *IS* easily noticeable.
