which diff brace is better?

Looking At A Diff Brace That Has A Group Guy Going On And Also Looking At The Pfs Brace And Wondering Which You Guys Would Recommend. Both Are The Same Price And Look Very Similar. Pfs Is Proven It Seems But Maybe The New Group Buy One Is Better For Some Reason That You Guys Could Explain? Thanks Alot.

Sorry About The Capital Letters, My Phones Swype Keyboard Keeps Automatically Doing That On The Forums. Nowhere Else But Here For Some Reason.

PFS link:

2-in-1 link:

In my opinion the 2in1 is the better choice...the PFS doesn't have the wings/brace which means its only a cradle to aid in preventing the diff pumpkin from splitting. As opposed to the 2in1 which is a cradle + diff brace in one. I have the 2in1 and the quality is GREAT!!!

The PFS unit is a cradle, and will keep your case from breaking.
The 2in1 is also a diff brace, and will tie the diff more solidly to the chassis.
Also consider the Banzai brace, which is not a cradle.

It depends on your power level and usage.
If you're launching, you'll wan a cradle.
If you just want to tighten up the rear and/or reduce some wheel hop then you'll want a diff brace.

I'm Looking At Around ~500Whp With The New Bw S366 Setup That's In The Car Now. I Have The Banzai Diff Brace. Im Guessing If I Get In On That Group Buy I Can Sell That And Offset The Price Alittle Bit Since Its A Brace And Cradle Combined. Thanks For The Answer, I Guess Group Buy It Is.

Agreed. Seems like a cradle would be unnecessary weight and overkill for track or autocross.

I'm going to join the Group Buy since its a 2 in 1 and I can just sell the Banzai brace for some money. Both the PFS cradle and the 2 in 1 are the same price so selling the brace I have would make the 2 in 1 cheaper by a bit.
