WOW! I really appreciate all the feedback from you guys! Its good to see so much interest in braces! First off Id like to address some facts on our business because after all we are the new kids on the block here. We've been doing this full time for two years now and have had our hands on tons of cars and experience is our biggest weapon. As per our size, We have a small staff of 4 guys, and we have now shipped thousands of braces internationally. Hell, the Parts Manager of Scion of San Diego has been talking with us about carrying our products in their dealership and Turbokits.com has been licensing our Kia Forte Braces for 8 months now. As far as engineering goes we designed everything based off of our real world testing and sat down with an aerospace engineer who currently is out helping the Saudis design planes. The guy has been an engineer for over 30 years and was absolutely brilliant...if a little rough around the edges. Now I could sit here and post track times from our turboed TC2, 400whp speed3, or 450whp track evo and the comparison of before and after but those times can easily be refuted based on sandbagging one lap and going hard on another...Braces truly are a hard product because the difference is in feel as well as times. As for the benefits outweighing the weight argument...we totally agree, there were several braces we tested for the frs/brz that didnt make enough of a difference, and as such we dont produce them. We have always striven for complete honesty and transparency with the community. We all drive and race modified cars and want the community to have REAL products with TANGIBLE difference. In the past two years we have never had a weld failure or ANY person say that they didnt notice a massive difference, however i know you will all take this with a grain of salt as this is our business lol.
