AxialFlow braces available now

All you guys who I have been promising brces to they are finally ready.
Blue only though. Black oxide bolts. Same price as two years ago.
They are on the website.
If you want to combine shipping with a shifter you can but must PM me to get my Paypal number.
In fact if there is response to it we can make up a club deal for the pair. I'll start thinking about and pass it around on my end.

Surely you jest! All those mods and no AFE shifter?
The way it is done is: buy an Rx8, drive home, order a shifter.
There is no more important mod.

Also with those brake mods you will notice the brace quicker.
Thank you, it's been so long since I got to blow my own horn.

I'm sometimes in the Simi area, maybe RP would let me try one with the JIC? Something I miss from the MS strut bar...

It will not. The brace that RP makes will only work with a stock strut brace. The stock strut brace will also need to be modified as well to fit the piece.

IN the pic you can see where you need to dremel out the section for it to fit as it bolts into the lower bolts below the C plate.

I've never seen any of those strut bars so I can't tell you. You might be able to judge from the picture.
If someone wants to bring their car by I would look at it.
Just be sure and call first and check if I'm in town.

Now if one of you has an '09 or '10 I would like to look at the shifter.
While I have a shifter from the '09 I can't be fully aware of how everything functions without the car.

Thanks for making more (I tried ordering one back in Dec/Jan). Saw about this on another forum so I rushed right over and ordered one. Asked for raw, then when I came over here I saw you only have blue. I still want it in any case.

The shipping was lightning fast after ordering this brace, Installation was a lot more involved tho possibly a slight change in the strut bar "ours is a 2007".
But I will say this, I didn't get off the lot before I could tell the difference in how much firmer the pedal is and thats just during street driving, can't wait to take it on the track.
An excellent addition, KUDOS to Axialflow.
