YOU WILL WAIT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

We wait two weeks. No more more. No less. Never on time. Rarely at all. And when you forget.

Yeah you'd have to unbolt it. Is that even a consideration? How often do you jack from there?

Very often. So much, I removed my Verus Pebble Collector 9000.

The waiting game is killing me!

I've wanted a diff brace for a while, but wasn't willing to get rid of the verus cooling plate. Finally gave in and ordered the BMR one, in part because there seemed to be a slight chance they could work together. A little bit of trimming on the Verus part and yep, they fit together.

BMR diff brace installed:

Trimming the verus plate (it was later cleaned up a bit)

Both together

This is so helpful! Ty for posting this

That is a shame. This may come to pass. Good luck!

I will send two silver to place in your mouth upon your death for the ferryman. Please send pics of the River Styx. I hear it's beautiful this time of year.

I have to jack my car up to rotate/change tires at least once or twice per weekend at the track so having to remove stuff to reach the jack point is a hard pass for me.

The verus cooler doesn't even really do anything so no loss on your part.

oh man!
this is very helpful

Does anyone have Rwense website for the difference brace? I remember there is another gentleman with 3D printed brake duct/brake rotor dust shield (not Verus nor SPEED engineering)

Responding to something like this is a pain because of how difficult it is to explain my logic here, but since it's you, and you very clearly know your shit, i'm giving it a go. I'm also having my morning coffee, so this is keeping me entertained.

First of all, i'm sure we agree that the burden of proof is on the party making the claim, which in almost all cases cases is the manufacturer. But here you're making a claim of your own, so i do have to ask if you have any data to support your claim?

To explain my logic....3rd party/real world testing almost always beats 1st party manufacturer data. It's why, for example, i don't use CSF products. I say almost because you also need to take into account other factors, such as testing conditions etc...That said, when you live in a climate as hot as the one i live in, you're a a little more....amenable....to 1st party manufacturer data for cooling, and only in the absence of 3rd party data. I couldn't find any, so instead i looked at the claims from Verus themselves, and considered that i'm generally speaking more likely to believe a claim from Verus, than i am from...i dunno....Autotecknic. It's a low risk (cheap) high reward (anything cooling is for me) part that a reputable company backs. FWIW Verus tell you when their products don't really do much, e.g. their rear spats.

TLDR: i don't know if you're actually right or wrong, but i suspect that you don't either, and it's a low risk high reward play on my part.

Looking at the Verus data it shows the cooling plate doesn't let the diff oil get to operating temperature, lol. 180F/82C for diff oil is nothing. It's a drag inducing decoration on a road car.

I'm fairly certain i don't have an issue of getting the diff up to operating temps.

180F/82C is fine man.

 

[TBK]

That's what phil said. Without the cooling plate, temp would still be at 180F. 180F is nothing to the diff oil

Yer thanks for clarifying, i clearly misunderstood.

Then back to my original point - i live in a significantly hotter climate than most (and track the car very frequently), so i'll take any cooling mods i can get my hands on
