For $100, how could I pass it up? Plus I could probably paint it all matte black. I'm in, too.

Slevy,,it looks great! Sorry I've been VERY busy at home and work. You know to put me down,,,let me know where/when to send the Franklin or go ahead and tell the man, who that car belongs to I think, to charge my AMEX and pay you; whichever is easiest.

BTW, that special wrench that TC made for the rear eccentric adjustment,,why don't you take a look at stamping that one out of some good material - I'll buy one of those too,,and not to mention the homemade cam gear bolt tool,,that saved my *** a few weeks ago! Of course I'll want royalties off of these suggestions......that can come in <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />

All I need is one positive reference from someone who has a strut brace and you can count me in. Do they really make a difference in handling or is it just a cool thing to have?

Rear eccentric tool is actually a Porsche tool.

Homemade cam gear tool?? He's hiding something from me.......

To be honest, I don't know personally. I couldn't talk my partners into putting the prototype on my car! The driver for the car it's on is very experienced with racing and he said he didn't think it'd make as much difference as it did. He may not give it up!

I am interested. One question, will this fit an S2??? Piece I am most concerned about is the driver's side mounting as there is a AC line. Will your brace base plate will provide clearance?


Thanks,

Yes and yes. I guess I'll take a pic of that side tomorrow and try to get it up on the web site asap. The only place there is a clearance issue is with the mastercyl heat sheild. It's pushed back a bit. But we thought better this way than over it and possibly having to cut into it for clearance. Definetly easier to install this way.

All-

Thanks for the great response. As I posted above, I don't have one yet. I have to wait for a production one too! But, I'm in! I also appreciate all the kind words. We're all here to promote the marque and help out, right?

Here's how I have the tally. Let me know of any changes.....

John Anderson-YES
dangerisland-YES
Matt Olde-YES
special tool-YES
samgrant951-YES
jurg-YES
ninefiveone-YES
skwerl-YES
ski-YES

flordia951-maybe
ryan z-maybe
mark944turbo-maybe
riff-maybe

I'll email everyone on the YES list when I'm ready to ship and collect at that time. Payment by Paypal, money order, or check.

Thanks again!
