Rear Differential Solid Mount Brace

[Loco38SUP]

Do these actually help with wheel hop? That's the question. Would love some feedback, TY.

My wheel hop disappeared completely. The key is locking down the front differential mounts with the @Twisted Tuning front brackets. The rear brace only fixes part of the problem.

A few local guys run the BMR version and like it. They’re all similar in function but with different esthetics. The Twisted Tuning one is another solid choice.

Yes as stated, locking the differential in place does assist in reducing/removing most instances of wheel hop. Also removes the movement in the diff from loading and unloading the car which depending on how worn your bushings are you can feel it. Increases responsiveness as well.

Our diff brace kit is the only kit on the market that handles both the front and rear mounting points of the diff as well.

We also use stronger materials than most of the other mounts out there. Was the first no drill diff brace. Tons of people use ur diff brace kit. From circuit cars to 7 second drag cars. Its been proven for years on many cars (several hundred sold).


Definitely feel free to reach out with any questions. link for our current V2 mount which offers access to diff service points without removal is here:

I have the Twisted tuning front brace and Rapid Designs rear brace on my Supra. The rear feels planted and solid now.

Pun intended?

This is a secondary mod for wheel hop. The primary mods are traction arms and rear toe links.

The goal is to reduce the amount of elastic energy that can "snap" back when the tire loses traction. The wheel assembly sees much larger thrust and yaw loads, than the differential's roll loads. Therefore, we start with those and work down the list.

You seem like you know what you're talking about. When you say "we" what do you mean, do you have/work for a shop near Chicago? I'm near Chicago.

Did you install the traction arms and toe links separately from the barce and noticed more improvement in wheel hop? Thank You

Yes, I'm in Chicago area. No, i dont have a shop. You should be able to do it at home with a jack and stands. If anything, doing traction arms on a lift might be harder because you need leverage (i.e. The jack or your foot) to wiggle the bolts back in.

Yes, those are the primary mods and it had a noticeable effect on wheelhop in the dry, i would say wheel hop is 80% eliminated. Still happens, but only when cold AND wet. Diff brace brings it up a little more, say 90%. I recommend one that loads 4 diff cover bolts (remember, these are smaller than the mount ears so you need more of them to spread the load) and allows for fluid changes.
