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).

Yep, I think that's next on my list
 
Where'd you buy it and how much did it cost?

Maybe we need a parts review section or something for all these threads.... ;)

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.

Yes, it can get QUITE heavy when you're working under jackstands.

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