common Kelly, can you make a all in one unit so I don't have to murder a good set of brackets like I did, I did weld them in after I had to make the cuts.

short answer is no, because I had to figure out what I had to cut first to get them to both fit, then tack welded them up to verify the geometry. but I did have to remove the panhard bar to get the axlebrace in. be careful on which brackets you buy, I wanted the BMR LCA brackets. so I had to cut them and the axlebrace get the CHE axlebrace and brackets to work together. I guess CHE LCA brackets work with no cutting needed, but I wanted the lower settings on the BMR brackets.

Cant vote twice.

Just think how cool it would be to have a brace that would for sure be compatible with the best suspension parts on the market.

lol...............



I'll have a meeting about it tomorrow.

The majority opinion of the meeting will be that CHE does a fine job making theirs.....but I will see if I can persuade, a little.

I have an awesome design in mind, I even thought about offering myself - but it may require drilling the tubes in (4) places.....which would be a pita for some people. OF course, instead of drilling, it could be welded. The design I came up with simply destroys everyone else's.... Really.

Seriously, remind them they lose a relocation bracket sale everytime a guy buys the CHE axle brace, and maybe more.

Think about it, people who drag race buy relocation brackets... people who drag race launch their cars hard... what's next... "hey we see you bought this, you would also be interested in..." BMR'S FUCKIN SUPER AWESOME AXLE BRACE is what you would buy next so you don't destroy your shit doing what you love.

OMG you're taking something we love away from us... this is not my 'merican dream Kelly...
<----see that little girl right there, that's 'merica.

If BMR cared about its customers the brace would be a priority, not a new super duper whatever lol. Build new shit already!!! Oh and make the ARB cheaper.

You guys are like a little pack of GD 3 lb. chihuahuas!
I bet Kelly doesn't have one bit of skin left on his legs from his calves down.
Y'all done chewed it all off!





So Kelly...
What's the fucking deal?
Why can't we S197 guys get no axle brace love!?
Put a S550 part on the back burner and get our shit made!

WE WANT AXLE BRACE LOVE!!!

If Kelly doesn't respond in 24 hours we're sending strippers to his office.
