After installing Rear Axle brace few weeks ago, it really made the car much more solid, I ordered CHE K-member brace with Tq-limiters from Powerhouse411 too and Installed it yesterday. All I can say that CHE stuff is great! Great quality and fit.

The only problem I had was that my tranny cooling lines were pretty much blocking the other tq-brace mount so I needed to bent them away a little, but it still was a bitch to install.... my car is feels super solid now with CHE bracing and Saleen Racecraft suspension... I'm still thinking getting LCAs... I have no wheel hop, so I won't be needing anti-squats.

IMO bracing is a MUST for supercharged cars...

Tips... rear axle brace; don't tighten anything down before you've drilled all holes and have bolts and nuts in every hole. The left side top pumpkin nut is hard to tighten, but it'll help if you remove the fill bolt at this point.
Use thread locker in every nut/bolt.

K-member; same thing... have all nuts and bolts in all holes and then tighten them down accordingly. First the big bolts, then rear 17mm bolts. Use thread locker.

tq-limiters; screw the limiter bushing and rod end all the way down, screw the limiter on each side until the bolt goes in easily through the rod end into tranny... finally, by eye, check you have approximately same amount of threads showing from both side tq-limiters and tighten the nuts to prevent tq-limiter to stay in length.

Hmm very interesting. I already have an axle brace but the k-member brace might be a future purchase if it can be made to work with the BMR K-member.

I have alot of Steeda parts. After finding this post. I think I might change some parts to CHE. Thanks guys.

I've got to agree. A year or so ago it seemed to me they were just copying BMR. I'm glad they are out there making S197 parts.

You're not advocating changing out BMR for CHE are you? I haven't had a lick of problems with mine...

No worrys, I just wanted to keep it straight. I have heard nothing but good things about CHE... but then I have had nothing but good things to say about my own BMR stuff... I wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing anything...

I installed the axle brace this past week and it made an immediate, noticeable difference.
