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?

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.

 

gotham racing just installed their diff brace on my car...i am going down on saturday to pick it back up after kan does the fine tuning...got some other goodies too. Ill add a review in here as well when i pick it up.

It's about 10 lbs correct?

if you ever get car jacked rip it off and use it as a weapon !

 

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

 

nothing like that tranny...that ****** is a bitch on jacks

been there...never again


now i just need gears....though Im looking forward to seeing how the cars feels with new bushings and the diff brace. five days til find out time.

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

 

i bought one from gotham. with that and my pettit diff mounts, you can hear anything and everything going on in the rear
