i'll pass, i have a rebuild to work on... but all i'm saying is it probably works... it would likely perform better and be less harsh on the involved components if it had a good, stiff absorber in it.

you have any real numbers to back it up or just a butt dyno?

The one you posted is 380.00 and the only difference is that it has grease fittings, is it worth it? a $140.00 difference?

Who are you talking to? Nobody posted a $380 torque brace!

As for pride in your ride, it's not just about looks...an FD deserves better than cheaply made ebay parts!

I had those a few years back, but I got tired of the look. I like the stock flip ups better now.
