I managed to get a moment to install Dragon's differential brace over the weekend. Took me a bit longer than planned while I figured out how it fit in there. Fitment was good and the bolt holes lined up. The only caveat I had was that I needed to tighten the bolts in order for the driver's side connection to lay flush the way it's supposed to. This may be my car and not the brace. It sat about an inch off the mating surface.



Once installed, I took the car out and immediately noticed that I had eliminated a creak I'd been hearing recently. The whole rear end felt much tighter and the car seems to track a bit straighter than before. Increased vibration was negligible, limited to low-rpm lugging that disappeared above 2K rpm. It made such a difference I am now set on adding a roll bar to the car as well. For the money, this simple mod cannot be beat. I have a GReddy Power Extreme and the fit was fine.

indeed, the diff brace is a great low cost addition to the car. easy to install, minimum vibration. If you really want vibration though....go for a tranny brace. My car feels like a 6 sec. pro street car when I drive

LOL. Might have to skip that one then! Have my eyes on the M2 swaybar now...chromoly and under 30lbs! Stiff is good. Just ask Mike Ditka.
