    That is a nice find. Any ideas if you'd notice the difference?

    FYI - There is a group buy in progress at the moment... QBM has a massive reputation in the US for providing top quality parts, but I know that Greg has been ill for a while so it has delayed our UK order. He is working around his illness and from what I've heard any part is well worth the wait...

    Have a read of the link in my sig and PM me if you are interested....

    Be quite interesting to see if it actually does do anything. Short of a rollcage, I don't see much helping out in our estates.

    Will wait for your feedback

    TC - That'll be because it is a new item. It looks like it was only released Aug 2006.
    The original list I've got is out of date.
    If you want to order that Item Get it on your order if you've not recieved your invoice. Just PM BB and me to add it to your order it won't be an issue for me to add..

    I think a damper (shock in yank slang) brace is slightly different to a chassis brace Mart.

    But you can't get a shock brace for an estate (if i understand) so they're really talking about a chassis brace, which is what this thread is about, no? You've confused me now lol
