Every time i think i'm not old i come across some new Gen Z phrase and...guess i'm old



Doesn't it require drilling the subframe? That's what BMR says.


No changes to NVH? I'm been wanting to get some kind of diff brace that doesn't make me have to get rid of the Verus cooling plate
I didn't notice a lot more NVH but I did some interior sound deadening so YMMV. It does require drilling a single hole but it is very easy and they supply everything you need to do it.

Ill be getting the hardware to install it hopefully tomorrow! Afterword Ill be testing it over the next few weeks and working on manufacturing/suppliers and such. Im so pumped to finally take another step closer.

There will be another thread to track the development/testing. You can also follow myself and my company's Insta pages:

Let me know if you have any questions!
Take my money

Already installed the brace a while back. Haven't experienced any incremental NVH

Do you offer a version without the Logo?

Damn, the man is just trying to advertise his business….

@rwense this design looks better than the one you posted on FB!

i went with BMR and it surprisingly made a difference. Did this in conjunction with replacing the front diff bushings. I’d imagine these braces would help keep the bushings from cracking, and that alone is worth its weight in gold. What I thought was clunky shifting from my built trans turned out to be slop in the driveline. No additional NVH.

Maybe I'm missing something again, but if this brace is installed with the front brackets, does the diff have any degrees of freedom w.r.t. the subframe at all? In other words, is it possible for the bushings to see any strain?

With respect to. Used in engineering when you need to describe things in local frames of motion.

Real world example. Suppose you have an engine running on a load cell. You can define and measure the torsional damper's ring twist with respect to a reference angular position of the damper hub, the flywheel, the dyno inertia, or the mean of the entire assembly. They are all different values when you plug them into Theta2-Theta1.

The biggest issue with the differential is that the rear mounting point is offset. This allows it to swing back and forth. I’ve always wondered why my launches slithered back and forth.

With the rear brace and the front brackets the car still slithers but only about 10% of what it was before. So yes it still has degrees of freedom just not as many.

Honest feedback, I would be part of the group buy if removing the cheesy car from the logo is an option. Looks like a solid product but that car tug boat thing ruins the look.
