You know, this is exactly the feeling I got out of them too when we were prototyping, and the reason why these are such a great upgrade. Thank you for the awesome review, and I know you really had no reason to give us a good review because you had to wait SOOO long.
On hardware.
Because of the GREATLY increased load on the mounting points, I chose ISO ANSI ASTM certified hardware, in grade 12.9. This is almost the best I can get. This also means I cannot use a stainless fastener, because they do not make stainless fasteners that strong.
Going in, I knew we would have finish issues with the black oxide hex bolts, because they like to surface rust pretty quickly.
So, the UPDATE IS, I just cut a purchase order for a few thousand grade 12.9 fasteners, bolts, and lock washers, but they are going to be zinc coated black. As long as you don't scratch them, you should get years of rust free performance out of the fasteners, without compromising the strength, or thread thickness/fitment. Its also going to look sexy as hell having all black nuts and washers too.
These should arrive next week, and if anyone wants to upgrade to the new fasteners, I am going to put a link on the site for an inexpensive upgrade.
Also, since nico has been so good to us with these braces, I wanted to offer a few at a discounted rate.
