    Feeler: Sub X Brace Group Buy Discount.

    The production cost on these is pretty high (Labor intensive complicated...Suprizingly difficult to build)


    We know that $300 + bucks is a lot of cash.

    John and I have been discussing it and are considering offering 10 or more steel X brace orders to you guys on R3V at a big discount

    To get the cost down we could do something like this:

    Unfinished (unpainted) and get your own hardware (we will let you know what to use) For some place in the neiborhood of $225 + shipping (only US lower 48 would be about 25 to 40 bucks or so)


    :?: THIS IS A FEELER we are not sure we can do this yet :?:



    Let me know what you guys think.

            $225 would be very do-able.

                I would love to hear a before and after testimonial from a local r3ver who isn't affiliated with your shop, but I'm probably in even if you don't get that. That's definitely the way I'd prefer to buy it, BYOP&H (paint and hardware)

                        I am also tentatively interested if someone has a review posted. I like the design and idea of it, I just need to get some money first.

                          Will it fit with the skid plate I just put on? Front attachment point of the X brace is the same as the rear points on the skid plate...I also have the Ireland sway bar which might hang down too far and intefere with the X brace.

                            I do believe they will fit with the skid plate installed however I don't know how far your bar hangs down.

                              Also, any problem fitting around the H&R front sway? I'm thinking of going to that from my Eibach.
