as question states.
although not all the braces can be used together, it seems that some of the parts can be used together.

another questions- which is better? i plan on keeping my stock springs and struts as i really like the way car feels right now. I just want something a little extra. The car is fine on the streets, but really awful on the track when pushed to the limit. I already have progress f&r swaybars installed.

some pics.

IMO, the car is underdamped and undersprung from the factory.
You're compounding the problem by adding swaybars to the stock damper/spring setup. Bracing the chassis further may only be a patch to what really needs addressing- dampers and springs.

Ditto the best thing you could do is upgrade the suspension the braces aren't going to help the problem

boing... boing...boing...get a good set of coilovers 1st. You can only do so much when you've got not enough dampening.

okokok,
let's say i got springs and dampers.

which brace is better?

LionZoo

Get the dampers first and if that's inadequate, then talk about braces. I feel like just a good damper upgrade will solve most of your problems, though if I were swapping out the dampers I'd probably get a set of springs to match since I'm already in there.

Allrightythen, just my opinion...but I think Autoexe gear is the best. Why? Notice how it's all triangle shapes? Nothing stronger than that and if rigidity is what you're after...well that'll do it. The other looks good, but it's unclear to me exactly what it's trying to do. Guess I'd have to get under and see what's going on, but it seems to be a much more localized reinforcement effort compared to the Autoexe and so not clear how much that effect overall chassis stiffness.

While you're at it don't forget to do the top too

Do a search on beat rush.

There is a member that uses them and AUTO X'a.

He loves them.

i already did.
i just wanted to know if it was worth getting the beatrush over autoexe braces, or to use them together.
i guess people really don't have experience with these...

This set looks good for the price. I think it's an AutoExe knock off.

Wonder what you lose for the low price? Weight? Material strength? Weld quality? Still an compeling deal!

it sure is, isn't it??? i'd like to jump on it... but i was also looking into the beatrush braces as well... darn it~!!!! i can't make up my mind!

I have the carbing under brace and I can't use the beat rush trans brace I got, but I can use the BR diff brace with it. Sammy has the auto exe brace and both the BR trans and diff braces. If anyone needs the beat rush trans brace I got a new one! Pm me

can you ask sammy to post pics of his br braces and autoexe braces together?
i sure would like to see this.

My guess is the overhead engineering costs...
