We will know once we finish up some more testing and get the different sizes worked out. As just an FYI the bar that we are testing on the car now (the one in the pictures) tested the same stiffness as the solid 1" bar that we tested that mounted just below the springs and looked like a normal sway bar. We are going to put the stock suspension back on the car also and test a couple versions of the bar with that setup also to see what is going to work best for the different suspension setups out there. Once we finalize the sizes it is usually about 4 weeks for production pieces to be made and powdercoated.

As for final price, we hope to be right around $100 for the rear brace.

I'm wonder how much the brace will help with handling with the stock suspension vs. coilovers. Obviously the best setup would be the brace+coilovers. Might be a nice stop-gab for people like me that can't afford $1500 coilovers yet.

the brace might actually help more with a stock suspension than with coilovers

I think Dave also mentioned that he is looking at a different bar tension for stock springs, lowering springs and coil overs.

 

[firstorbit84]

I've heard that rear torsion beam braces and stiff suspension components elsewhere can induce dangerous "snap oversteer"

 

[slitzell]

Hmmm im interested but very skeptical. Ill wait for dave to make a thread with objective/subjective comparisons

Just waiting on all of the quotes on the parts to come back, should start taking pre-orders on the heat shield very soon.

We did get all of the pricing back on those today.They will be able to be pre-ordered next week and we expect production pieces in 3-4 weeks. Pricing is going to be $115 for the 304 stainless steel, 2 piece heatshield, all pre-orders will be in for $99 :banana:

Cant wait keep us updated

And if anybody else wants to install a traditional BOV like I did, Dave can make more of them.

Just wondering what all is needed to install a traditional bov.. I would love to have the sound...

We should have everything needed to do this posted up by the end of the week.

The bypass valve block off plates get here Thursday and the aluminum charge tube for the drivers side is almost complete. The bypass valve will be ready for purchase at the end of the week, the aluminum charge tube will be available in about a month. We can get you the trifecta tune to work with the vent to atmosphere blow off valve also. We will probably be using a Synapse BOV on our tester, but any good quality BOV should work.

Aluminum charge tube.... Im getting excited now

awesome I will be getting it once its available, I just ordered your intake yesterday. Trifect Tune is the next item on my list. :banana:

Yeap, it is looking pretty good. We will be offering the aluminum as an option for the tube going from the throttle body down to the hard 90 degree piece with the MAP sensor in it. From there we are staying with the silicone, since it is much better at allowing movement, resists heatsoak and there are less connections that way.
