When are you going to be getting it back in stock? I have "go fast" parts and tuning, but now I need "go around corner fast parts".

The rear braces are here and were dropped off at powdercoating on Friday. The batch will be back on Wednesday and will be shipping out!
Thanks!

Difference between this and rear sway? Anyone care to explain?

Read this post by Preloader. There's a lot of good info about this part in the thread.

He says it feels pretty much identical to beefing up the rear sway bar.

Both of them are going to increase torsional rigidity of the rear suspension and reduce understeer on the car, just in different ways. The bolt on sway bar kits out there are nice since there is not any holes to drill, but they increase the unsprung weight of the rear suspension and are also more expensive. Our brace does require 2 holes to be drilled, but is substantially lighter and less expensive. In the end they will both accomplish the same thing though, just different ways to get there.

So do one or the other but not both?
Thanks for the info appreciate it.

You technically could do both of them, although I would have to do the math on it, it should make the car have an oversteer tendency with that much roll stiffness in the back, not a good thing. For most everyone out there, do one or the other.

Really hoping to get one of these depending on what tags cost me for both cars... That's the one thing that sucks about birthdays
Hopefully we will not have an issue keeping these in stock now, the last batch of these took awhile to be made but we had hundreds of them show up the other day :banana:

Also, we updated the page and are now offering to include a 1/2" drill bit with orders, to make things a little easier. When installing the rear brace on the car, 2 1/2" holes need to be drilled. The Drill bits we are using have a 1/2" shank, so make sure your drill can accept it before ordering it, just $8 and we will put it in the box with the brace.

Good idea. If doing the install yourself definitely worth it to have the right bit.

Has there been a price hike on these? I was trying to convince my wife to get me it as a nice "under $100 gift" but it looks like it went up.

I know it was originally $110. You might have been seeing a sale price. I paid $110 when I bought mine.
