if you would prefer I send you a complete set of parts so that you don't have to go browse the isles of your local Home Depot let me know


is it still $2.50 if I have you pick up the parts for me?

if it isn't still two-fiddy, it shouldn't be that much more.

Hey as per the translated instructions the brace actually does

compress, but not like on a motorcycle or a car shock, it has

2 different bushings inside. depending on placement it will

determine the load. One is hard, one in super hard. If you put

one, one way or another is makes it easier to move or not to

move. Granted this cant be checked by your hand. Also the

tighter you tighten the load screw the more the load increases

too.



just some info for you guys.

jadedx, they are not all green. if you buy the HPI one like me, it will be red.

btw, the feed brace is exactly the same as the HPI. considering HPI makes these for all types of cars, and feed sells them only for rx's, i would think that the feed is just a rebadged HPI.



vosko, that looks like a better instal than i did on mine, but if you notice, by flipping the bracket upside down, that guy was only allowed to use 2 of the 3 screw holes on the fender wall. i think i'm just gonna make a new bracket for mine that resolves the abs issue and uses all of the mounting holes.

Yeah, as you can see you don't have all three bolts on the bracket utilized. Also it looks like he had to bend one, maybe two of the ABS hardlines. I wasn't willing to do that.
