Getting real close to the final results of the timed install test of the X brace at the local outpatient spastic clinic = stay tuned in

You're all retarded, but don't let that stop you.

You're retarded. That's just their website, which has been linked several times already in this thread.

They make a regular brace too as i recal, without the triangulation. But, that doesnt get you as much i guess

[z31maniac]

You got it. Only top to top or bottom to bottom, no triangulation.

So I suspect if one were inclined to run a "normal" rear brace, and then a "butt strut" type brace together that would be legal, but not as effective. I'd need to double check the SCCA rule book to find out exactly what is and isn't legal as far as chassis bracing.

Either way, I know my car could still lose 150ish pounds, maybe more, under SM rules but I want the thing to still be streetable.

I eventually plan on a bolt-in 4 pt roll bar and rear brace, I need to read up on the X-brace as well. With the sway bars and spring rates I'll be running, I'll need the chassis as stiff as I can get it.

If this rear brace was SM legal I'd probably jump on it.

Question I am not familliar with SM is it not legal because of a "no triangulation" thing or are strut or shock tower braces just illegal?

He never provided any info. he just beat around the bush and acted like a douche. No one is going to un-ban him. besides, what kind of questions could you have? it's a strut brace. it reinforces shit. End of story.

He still sells all his shit here:

What? he provided all the info anyone does all I see searching in here is him trying to be as candid as possible while doing the r and d which is way more than most would. More than 1/2 of everyone in here acted like a douche all in those posts.

[CorvallisBMW]

Its too bad he is banned. There is so much that he could provide for us. Like the Zen bars and the tech info. Maybe someone could unban him.

dude go fix the pictures in your old threads.

Got all my answers I emailed evolution zen directly and the guy was pretty cool sent me instructions and photos that is all I wanted but it would have been nice to hear from some impartial people.
