Hey Damian, How is that working out for you? Are there any negatives to the brace?

Nice. You must have done a nice install job and taken a nice pic if Jason put it on the site. Well done

>>I am planning on buying that brace after Christmas. I have the same question as him.

The brace is great, just make sure it dosnt bump against ur exhaust and be prepared for a little vibration. I would say that its a bit much for my street car, but great for my track car.

I may still use it on my street car and fab some mini 'bushings' with the left over urethane from the motor mounts I made a while back, just to dampen the vibration for street driving.

Either way, it does do its funtion, solidify the rear and reduce if not eliminate wheel hop.

Although the picture is probably public-domain the instant you post it due to the registration agreement, you would think they would have asked or at least notified you.

at 80K miles, the diff bushiungs are probably shot, id say new diff bushings is # one helper, maybe even go stiffer urethane bushings, then think about a brace.
