We did not significantly alter the the bracket design from what was previously shown. When testing the prototype, we were able to determine that mounting on additional studs from the strut tower was not necessary as we were able to eliminate a substantial amount of deflection with the current mounting strategy.

The tiny bit of deflection left in the system is due to the bracket itself, and is entirely dependent on the design of the bracket itself, and additional mounting can not further optimize that. So we have chosen to optimize the design of the bracket instead, to minimize that deflection. I understand that the concern is the strength of the area where the bar would mount, however that area is substantially stronger than most people initially think, and we've seen this ourselves from the amount of deflection removed in the system when we add in the strut bar.

And once again, the list is born!

Being added to the list means that you're interested enough in what you've seen so far to be contacted when parts are ready to ship. Everyone on the list will be offered a price so low that you'll never see it again. If you're on the list and would like to be removed, just let me know!

If you'd like to be added to the list, just post up!

We will be posting 'final' pictures of the design in the next few days. You guys rock!

Haha, we'll keep you in the loop! Here's a protip: the bigger we can get this list before we commit to a group buy price, the better it will be. So, spread the good word!
