Nice! Buying mine soon. How do you like it so far? Have you noticed any real time differences before and after the fact?

Lovin' it. Had it on for a week already. No noticeable difference during regular mild driving of course, but it gets rid of the fade and sponginess under harder braking.

For example, braking from 65mph to zero in sudden traffic: the initial bite is good, but I would really have to squeeze at the end to bring it to a complete stop. With the brace, I don't notice it anymore. Much more consistent and firm, especially at the bottom half of the brake pedal travel. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome. Can't wait to install this, along with my other GrimmSpeed parts sometime in the next two weeks!

FIRST, without the always-on unit

your lower DRL should light up when the car is in daylight and E-brake not engaged

your lower DRL goes away and top boomerang and headlight goes on
at night time.

2nd, WITH the always-on unit

during the day, your lower and upper DRL should be on with E-brake not engaged

at NIGHT time your headlight and upper and lower DRL should be on

if not contact Diode dynamic for help..

they sent me a new unit as soon as they made them.

Just ordered mine yesterday. Thanks for the clear info but you can also change the setting where at night time your DRL is OFF and headlights/boomerand is on right?

Cuz I have yellow fogs and it looks weird with all lights on lol

You can change the setting to your choosing. That's how I set mine up, I just undid the little red thingy lol (for the all light on setting).

So with headlights on it's just like OEM: headlights, boomerangs, and foglights. But during the day without headlights: boomerang and DRL strip.

It's definitely noticeable. Love it.

Added ft-86 speed factory's strut bar v2. Their powdercoated wrinkle black matches the Full Bown's charge pipes very well.

You guys have got to stop.. I spent enough in the last couple months as is..

Side note, If you do anything suspension wise and you start hearing a clicking noise while driving, check your lugs first. Apparently I got distracted and didn't tighten 3 of mine more than hand tight. Was freaking out thinking I had an axle problem or something.
