There are 3 different types: PFS Cradle, T style, and Banzai's (That i know of)

I run the T style brace. I've never broke my diff, but i've never done any hard launches without the brace either, so who knows if its actually helping. I'm not about to take it off and launch, but i have thought about upgrading to the PFS cradle. Just by looking at it, you can tell it would help from the diff case cracking, which is the big thing to avoid after you've upgraded from the stock diff and axles.

I haven't broken either, but i've never launched hard with ET streets when i had a stock diff. I have a kazz now.

I've broken both a stock and a 300M axle, but there are guys running the same times as I with stock axles.




All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:26 AM.
