this one weighs alot less and looks nicer
not saying it doesnt look good. it does dragon. nice work.
i would say the welds on mine are much better quality IMO.
or are dragons nicer? i dont know, lets see some closeups.
i am curious as to how much this one weighs for you to say it weighs "a lot" less. do you know how much his weighs? how much does mine weigh?
answer: at the present state mine weighs less than 10lbs.
i am working on sheding a couple of lbs but not just going to randomly take weight off becasue it needs to be lighter and ruin the integrity of it.
all in all i think they will both do the same thing functionaly. i used the same mounting points as Dragons in the begining AND the mounting points mine currently use. it was WAY overboard. and yes, WAY to heavy.
you should all be happy that they are available. right dragon?
Dave, you got a REPU?! WOW! Congrats man!
Justin, always thinking about *****! LOL good analogy though...

Well if weight matters it comes in at 1.5kgs x 2.2lbs per KG = 3.3 lbs
I have a flux core wire welder, so the welds arn't the prettiest but there is plenty of penitration and about a hr strait of welding on each one not to mention trying to bend all the rod and make it fit correctly to the Jig. If you can break it then WOW!

so i guess fitment is not a problem at all with these braces....
as for the weight, i really dont think that 5 lbs makes a difference, if so.. then take off your pants and take a mean **** and you'll shed more than 5 lbs

wait its from japan?
japan parts + any car = 500hp.
thats why, lol just busting *****. as long as **** gets its job doen its all good. has anyone tested the ridgidity and intgrity or are basically just saying its strong cause it hasnt broke, yet? anyone actually TEST the products other then slapping iton a car and saying "hey it fits and isnt broken"?
again i dont mean to **** anyone off, just bringing up points.
