On a sidenote, do you have, or do you plan, a rear brace? Or would it not make a noticeable difference?

Due to the design of the rear suspension, a strut brace connecting the rear strut top hats would intuitively seem much less effective. If we make a prototype, and are able to prove that it accomplishes something, we will move forward. However, at this time we are not planning on that for the aforementioned reason, and a few others regarding fitment, and cutting your stock components (carpet) for fitment, etc.

I also see payment information is rolling out, and a few people have already been able to pay, which is great news! Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for not only the reply, but also the explanation. I seemingly say in every post that I'm not a gearhead, so I really appreciate the fact that a vendor will say it wouldn't be beneficial(enough to justify) even though I'm sure plenty of people such as myself would otherwise purchase it not knowing any better.

I have a question regarding how many turns on the posts the bar goes on will the nuts holding the bars on achieve?

If I get what you're saying, it doesn't look like you lose any threads on those posts. Watching the video, it looks like the nuts still have full thread contact even with the added thickness of the bar flange.

Is that what you mean?

Yes, like 2point0 said, if I understand what you're saying, there is full thread engagement on the nut. The thickness of the mounting bracket is such that it is maximized for flange strength, but also thin enough to allow full thread engagement. After you torque the bar down there will still be a thread peaking out the top of the stud. Make sense?

That is because I missed you, added you right now, and fixing it, expect a PM soon. Sorry about that, I certainly hope you're the only one I missed.

ANYONE ELSE THAT SHOULD BE ON THE LIST BUT HASN'T RECEIVED A PM, NOW IS THE TIME TO POST UP AND LET US KNOW!

Sweet! What method will they be shipped? (UPS, USPS, FedEx, pony express)

Never mind. I just got my sales receipt with a tracking number. Mine looks like FedEx.

Is there an alternative payment method available? Paypal is pretty close to being the devil and I prefer to not fund their tragic shenanigans.
