If you Drag Race, PLEASE weld your axle tubes.

[fdjizm]

You guys hear about the new axle brace BMR is making for our cars!!!???













Me neither...

 

[Kenaizer]

I'm thinking the changes were just to the rear ends in the GT500s. There was an article on how they realized the problem with the newer power level.

Yes, here is a '13 rear end I posted earlier in this thread:

Can anyone who is familiar with the welding process comment on if this "gusset" approach should be just as good as a full bead around the axle tube or at least considered good enough? By the looks of it, it would seem the gusset may be safer in terms of being less likely to warp the axle tube but I don't know.

Thanks

It definitely makes it less likely to warp. Assuming it was done correctly, puddle welds are quite strong. It's essentially a large spot weld, which is very effective and used throughout the chassis of the car.

Bummer. Guess I'll have to hold out for a brace from BMR or go with someone else's (che?) setup instead.

Or just weld the damn thing and be done with it.

 

[Riptide]

Don't wanna do it. I don't know if I trust to have it done locally and there is more labor than just sticking a brace in.

Welded, straightened, painted and braced. Still need LCA's.

 

[BMR Tech]

Good stuff!

[weather man]

Good stuff!

Your engineer is a hard sell Kelly! I like supporting vendors here when I can.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I did mine too...

 

[BMR Tech]

Well, honestly, we appreciate the customers we have and their "want" for BMR product - due to the loyalty/brand etc......but we feel the CHE brace is a very good piece.

I have probably sold 10 of them, myself (referrals) in the last 2 months.....lol

Yes, I told my engineer that....

Any panhard relocation mounts needed for these mods?

 

[weather man]

Nope. The panhard bar and brace are UPR pieces.

 

[JoshK]

Awesome, thanks

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

BMR also fits without modification haha. Id show you but i dont have pics.

 

[skwerl]

If I'm going to push low 10s then I'm seriously considering the CHE brace.

What subframe connectors are those weatherman?

They're the Steeda. I had them just bolted on N/A, but had them welded for the turbo. I AM gonna get to Grove Creek Dragway this year come hell or high water!
