your structual brace is your engine caraige itself, yes basically it's alot simpler design but were beefing up the tubes from .065 wall to .125 wall and the rod ends are larger mainly because we have alot more room to work with on yours, there are quite a few different parts we are using though 1 is the tubes, 2 the rod end is larger, 3 we have to use a tapered offset bushing because of where we plan to locate it we simply want nothing to bind, our install is tomorrow afternoon, results will be in when we are done and there is a very good chance were either going to cecil county dragway saturday or sunday so we can prove the 60 ft time difference.

oh yeah there not torque braces at all these are basically like what is used on a 4 link suspension set up (exactly the same components) were thinking they should be ready to ship if all goes well by the end of next week.

So are you taking these and the car up to the dragway and making a few passed w/o the setup, then bolting it on and making a few more passes?
Just to keep a few of the variables a little more constant...

They really need some fine adjusting beforehand, so they have to be on before we go. The car they're being installed on has never 60's better then a 2.3 i believe so we'll see what it does as for helping the car.

The RL set is actually alot more simplified then what we need to do on the srt's. The srt's have no structure up front, there is no engine cradle like you guys have. We're mounting to that cradle, which looks pretty damn beefy. Most srt owners were originally bolting to the thin sheet metal radiator support which proved effective, but not as strong as the h-brace and quad bar setups we provide, which is why many of the owners have switched to our systems.

You guys will definitely be happy, as if this doesn't test out too well we have a few other options we're going to try. We don't skimp on these. Hell my set was the first 100% all inclusive set to EVER be released for the srt's, and I've barely been able to keep them in stock
