Raceland rear upper brace,....only $89usd
« on: June 22, 2011, 09:07:58 am »
This appears to be similar to the unibrace, but hoped to find someone that has this and would share your thoughts on everything from install to benefits you have noticed. It's $200 less than the unibrace. Hell, I may have one laser cut with my own design on it.

Here is the link;

Not many people over here are running rear strut braces as I think the general concensus is that the chassis is fine. Be really interested to get peoples thoughts on these from those that are running a rear brace.

Hahah Matt, if I did not know you better I reckon you'd want ROH ECHT to ship 1 (make it 2) over.

Guys that have the unibrace are saying that it really is preventing body flex when cornering. I e-mailed raceland today asking them "What the brace is made of?" as their site doesn't give that info...or I missed it.

I would prefer a UNIbrace having had one and seen the quality, and felt the difference it makes...

Raceland says it is made of aluminum. Why would a unibrace be any different than this one? Contact points are seemingly alike...
