I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Look at some people's high hp V8s. The torque is enough that you can see the gap on one side of the hood is more than the other, etc. A guy I know had that problem with his supercharged Z28.

A guy I know just picked those up (the J's Racing), and loves em.... he's on a brace buying binge... ;) I think he chose to buy them through AJ Racing...

Yeah but those things have no structural rigidity anyways. You can sit on the back bumper and see the gap on the hood get bigger :P

hehehe funny... never saw this topic... anyways: I have the A-sports braces...

my car does not have enough power to actually feel them when launching, but the front end feels a LOT better... I now feel the body roll of the car more, in stead of the flex. Cornering feels better as well, especially in combination with the upper struts bars and lower tie bars (have all 4 of them)...

not sure if they're worth the cash though...

well... did you ever drive with those on? I have them and don't think they're worth what I ended up paying for them... maybe if the price is a lot lower (like at least $100 less) than they're worth it again...
