again i dont mean to **** anyone off, just bringing up points.

thats just one scenario, and you cant measure the forces exerted.



i mean you couldnt get out of 2nd gear with your car either.



if youre going to produce and market a product i think you need to know its abilities and limits before being able to faithfully stand behind a product.



but again this is just my opinion, and to each his own. so ya know, if ya dont like what i say then its alright i dont care .

you had my problem backwards. i couldn't get into 2nd gear at high rpm. doing burnouts etc is more stress on the car than anything else. as we already know since NOBODY has broken as many as parts as me. well maybe jspec and dragon

Well considering that the brace was made for Jayspecs car it better fit perfect. Also keiths brace has been out alot longer!
the one on jspecs is not the first produced and umm if it doesn't fit you have a big problem. like your FD was wrecked. i guess you have not noticed all dragon does is work on FD's.....including his 20B one.



like i said i have used the exact same brace for 6months on my car and i know it works. keith's probably works the same but everyone is allowed their opinion. actually i showed keith my brace and he showed me his just to compare them. the style brace has been around for a long time in japan

yeah, everone is allowed an opinion.

same goes with mine, if it doesnt fit, your car isn't straight.

i *think* what he was trying to point out was that there would be more stories (to read) of it not fitting perfectly because more people have had a chance to try it on a car they really dont know the history of... (if it is bent)

i think rich put it best in this thread. he said its car dependant. http://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.ph...threadid=252602



Jon, that "he showed me and i showed him" statement sounded gay! but i'll forgive ya LMAO!! :LOLl:
