I think Im going to get them since my bumpers are off the car. Its a 26 lb. weight savings. Along with a K-member, A-arms and racing seats it will be around 90 lbs.

This is deff. on my list.

That a nice project you have. I have seen that video before. Are you getting the same motor and trans or the 3v in the picture? I want the sequential tranny so bad.

My car is having problems shifting at higher RPMs. I heard a K-Member brace fixes this problem. Does anyone have experience with it and will it work with a after market K-member?

How much of a difference did you see when you installed the brace? Did you have a problem shifting at high RPM's? I have been told almost every 2005+ will have this issue if pushing over 450 rwhp.
