qualitative observations-
Qualitative observation deals with data that can be observed with our senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. They do NOT involve measurements or numbers.
"People like to validate their purchases online, always - this is just a false portrayal, some self-affirming feeling they need to express to legitimize their choices."
'there is no data to back up these claims. No scientific testing, just "feelings" '
"They are simply a lot of semi-useless parts"
"folks slinging miracle parts"
"not validate Bolt On Ballast ideas"
"altering the car's structural vibration response"
" non functional do-dads"
"driver composure effect"
"a hidden agenda"
"I'm also skeptical"
"is not a useful indication of rigidity without supporting measurements. "
"maybe it was placebo effect."
"you're grasping onto this idea with little evidence to support it."
"I still think you're short-changing yourself."
"That's not how this works. When outrageous claims (ie: your's) are made THAT person has to provide "proof" of said claim, not the other way around. "
"Again, you have zero proof other than one anecdotal point "it feels faster", with the added benefit of "self affirmation of parts purchase" added to your claim. "
"Driving with hand controls warrants even more skepticism"
"To a Pro level driver a variance of a couple of tenths between laps is a significant amount."
"All of this sounds more questionable now, not less."
" #BallastMyRide "
"Sorry, their day in the sun was about 2 decades past. These days peddle mostly black magic bolt-on bracing, not real parts backed by science and legitimate testing. "
" Your 'numbers' are incidental observations, rather than scientific measurements."
"cognitive dissonance" ..."plays a significant part" -

You folks are really good. I find it somewhat amusing that after all this derogatory trash talk, and some sundry psycho babble thrown in for good measure, nobody took us up on our kind offer to help finance either a KB matrix brace or BMR SFC's. The idea of course, was so the engineering types, pro-racers, etc, could install, then properly evaluate the items in question. Then arrive at some conclusion, or evaluation. Well that ship has sailed, and the deal is off. #NOFREEBRACES . Y'all got your minds made up that the KB matrix brace / BMR SFC's won't / can't work..even though nobody ever came on here, who did have em installed, said they evaluated em, and they don't work. Too bad so sad.
