    Wow. Guys are doing some serious production for our beloved E30s and dudes are acting like a bunch of school girls.

    Take a refund and make our own tough guy.

      How are the questions I asked asking like a school girl? I didn't ask for a refund, I didn't ask for them to pay shipping! I simply asked if it is that much of a difference between the two, to see if it was worth exchanging. Mine is going on a vert and I want the best possible option for it.

        This really isn't the place for your dispute, 87e30vert... do us a favor and keep your private dispute more private? Make a review/rant post somewhere else.

        Love your stuff, garagistic! You've always been prompt and friendly with me every time I've ordered from you, glad to have you making parts for the e30s!

          The gussets will be minimal. About a 15% increase in rigidity vs not having them. They will clear cabrio sways just fine. We can exchange it, however you will need to cover shipping both ways. We cant cover those costs at the black friday sale/group buy pricing. We would be paying you to exchange them.

            Got it and thanks for the response, I'll pm you with what I decide. I appreciate the work you guys are doing. Looks like I may just need to order some more goodies to come back with the gusseted one!

                    And on a 24v motor if that would make any difference in application.

                        I just received the one I ordered a few weeks ago, but it doesn't have gussets.

                        I specifically put in the order comments
                        "
                        I noticed on this r3v thread that you are only adding gussets on request, I would like the gussets on mine like it comes in the pictures. Thanks!

                        How can I get a brace with gussets?

                          Any idea when these will actually ship? Paid $75 for this and a strut brace to ship within the state and was given notice on the 2nd that it was being shipped but the tracking shows it hasn't been sent out yet.

                            Well, even though I confirmed directly with garagistic and in this thread, my brace also arrived sans gussets.

                              You guys ever get this resolved? Any pics if you were able to install? :)
