It looks real sweet! So how did the car do at the track?

Did it take time for you to get adjusted to drifting the car w/ the brace?

Just got mine today too! I can't wait to install them but it's raining like crazy here. The northeast has been insanely rainy for the past few weeks. I'm really getting sick of it.

Well this was my first event, so I don't have any previous experience drifting with the stock bars. I have gotten sideways before however, and with the new pieces the car feels a lot more planted. There is no slop in the rear end anymore and wheel hop is virtually eliminated. Transitions were very snappy, there was no loose feeling coming from the back of the car. Clutch kicks and e-brake initiations were spot on every time. I used to feel a clunk sometimes when I clutch kicked, but this time everything was very smooth. Getting on and off power in the middle of turns is also very smooth, the only difference I felt when I let off the pedal was a decrease in speed, no sudden jerks as I used to experience when the subframe moved a little bit.

Haha I guess that's my mini review/testimonial.

So, it finally has stopped raining enough for me to get these things installed. Install was a breeze and the instructions (although unnecessary) were descriptive and easy to follow. I haven't had a chance to get on the car at all yet, but just driving around it even feels a bit different. There used to be a sort of wobble in the rear when i torqued the wheel back and forth quickly that seems to have been diminished greatly. Overall, the rear seems to be much more firmly planted. I will give better feedback after i whip them around the track a few times in July but for now, my impression is that they are a quality product and a (positive) difference can even be felt under normal driving conditions. Who knew something so simple could make such a difference? Thanks John!

Yes, Instock I am about to ship a bunch of them.

7-10 business days isn't that long, though I don't think I will be out of stock ever again as I am going to start overlapping production schedules.

I waited 7 moths for my buddy club spec II from the time buddy club announced it would be making it, until I finally got it.

But yeah, No long waits with this!

thanks for the help john on finding the product.Great product. easy install. my subframe was all over the place and after install i could already feel it stiffen up and the tires stick to the ground a lot more without the wheel bounce

Seems like such a trivial, yet highly functional upgrade part. I'm surprised no one has designed this before. Great work to you guys!

Good!

I am going to start some production prototyping this week on the S14, and see where it puts the price figures at, which is what I am most worried about since it is more complicated.
