i dunno, that looks exactly like the feed brace, and while it might not be the actual feed brace, i am almost sure it is the same unit that jt imports is thinking about selling. on top of that, the feed brace doesn't even really have shock valving, it hardley even moves if at all... plus the bracket looks exactly the same, which again leads me to beleive that it is the same manufacturer that produces the real brace.... i mean cmon, feed or not, 200 some dollars is way overpriced for a piece of metal... even a 100 is pushing it....

i have the actual Feed brace on my car. i bought it from jt-imports on a groupbuy. and let me tell you that there is no way to adjust the dampning force. there are like two bushings inside the brace that make it not as hard. well not as hard and hard feels exactly the same. you could never tell. i mean this thing looks EXACTLY like mine....and its half as much!!!! the only difference i see is that it doesnt say feed on it. besides we all know that hpi has the same brace that feed has but in red.....so who is to say that the company making these braces didnt just make a bunch a different colors. and i bet this guy got a good price because he bought them in japan and brought them home thereby bypassing importation fees. anyways i all i want to say is there is no real way to adjust the tension on the brace...and i think this is one hell of a deal!! oh yeah here is a pic of mine installed..

I talked to the guy. His friend is an imported and got those braces for him. He got them from the same manufacturer that Feed gets it from. It's the same exact piece. Feed just got green ones and put their labels on em.
