Teddy on RPSport.net wrote:"I have to say, when John spoke to me about this part I was curious as to what it would look like. When he met up with me at WSIR (Willow Springs International Raceway) and pulled it out of the package, my initial reaction was, "This is it?". A total of four bolts and two pieces of metal.

It may not seem like much, but let me say this: These parts make a world of difference. Noticeable difference.

Before John got to the track, I was having a little trouble on HTM (Horse Theif Mile). I couldn't link the track in the morning... We installed this subframe brace and took the car out for another run and WOW! I was linking the track with no problems! I felt more stability and I was more confident about the car. It felt like the car was cooperating much more than before.

I would definitely recommend this part to ANYBODY, especially if you track or drive your car hard.

Thanks again John for giving me the opportunity to test out this part!"
Like I said, this part truly is awesome, and I'm not just saying that. It is a great upgrade to any suspension setup!

Looks good. Anybody can make their own. But I would not mind buying a pair to help support industries who build and test quality aftermarket performance products for our cars we love. Can't wait till a set to comes out for the s14!

I think I understant the importance for this part, either yours (much stronger) or the stock, when I'm charging down the track and I'm entering a corner, the rear subframe is attached to the body with soft rubber, worn out bushings and the body would roll a little more than the subrame where the saybar is attached to. So this part reduces the roll angle differance between the body and subframe. But this would be greatly elliminted by replacing those bushings with energy pineapple insurts (full replacemnt) along with this bracing that would be 100% perfect chassis allignment. but it is such a pain to do the subframe bushings! Mine still in th box for months now

Chris28,

I just tracked your package and the last entry was sorting at your local post office, so I figure it should be out for delivery tomorrow.

I am sending everything with integrated tracking, so just log into your paypal account and check the order.

Or check the email inbox your used when making your payment. There should be a shipping notification there with links to track online.

If finally you have neither of those, just email me, [email protected] and I will forward your tracking info right on over.

Hilux,

Tell me about it, I have had solid mounts sitting in a box for 3 years, and sold the car they were going to go into already. That is why these are such a great upgrade because its an easy and fast first step, and eventually part of a whole system to keep the rear end in check.

Got mine today, man are these things beefy! I'm going to put them on within the next few days. I'll be installing a welded diff at the same time, but once I put my vlsd back in after the event I'll be able to see just how much of a difference these alone make.

ok. i installed the braces in about 20 minutes. most of that time was spent digging through the garage for the tools i needed. lol. i took it out for a quick spin around the block afterward and i honestly felt and improved stiffness in the rear. i highly recommend this product to anybody. thanks john.

Good!

Did you find the instructions easy to use/read?

The testimonials on the site were not paid for, re-written or coerced at all.

I am hoping that more and more real people will come out and speak up for this new part. It is the real deal, RPSport has been around for years, and I would not put the companies name on something (literally) unless I truly knew it worked.

Enjoy your car cesar!

If there was anything I could do to improve your order or experience, just send me an email!

[email protected]

Thanks!

John

turn around time was 3 business days.instructions were straight forward and installation was as easy as top ramen. if i had to give this purchase/product a rating based on price and quality, i'd easily say 10/10.

Well thank you for all the great words.

I was hands on all day today with the next batch of braces, and I couldn't be happier than to see this project really take off and take life.

At the rate we are taking in orders now, its just unbelievable.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you everyone!!

If ordering in the next week, and you REALLY want the aluminum finish, please leave that in the notes while in checkout.

Otherwise, default shipping will be the new ultra hot black finish!

Head over to zilvia in the advertisers section there, there are two threads, lots of good reviews there too, and on the website here:

Good!

I love that feeling too! These are pretty beefy aren't they! I like solid indestructible things. That is why I designed these like this.

240sxka-t

Yeah, I know.

The first run, went faster than I could have imagined.

But! The new run is three times the quantity as the first, and all the cutting is done. They start the finishing process tomorrow and will be shipping by Wednesday next week.

So, I am sorry for the delays, but I am using the FASTEST, most accurate, highest quality control process possible for these, so 7 business day turnaround is not bad at all to go from nothing to shipped product.

I come from two generations of Aerospace engineers, so I don't mess around.

But, at the rate orders have been coming in, I might need to start the next run before this one is finished. So, if you want them, shipped by next Wednesday, I would get your order in NOW!
