Default possible x brace manufacturer

okay so the other day i contacted race-land yet again.

this time though was a bit different this time was to see if they
might be interested in manufacturing a product absent from the
scion scene altogether.

so i asked them to think about a rear x brace for the tc.



a rear x-brace or z brace. wonder-brace like items. the lateral support and maybe
a built in c pillar bar might be excellent for tracking. since we dont require rear
strut tower braces (ours is built in)

and frankly tubular aluminum would be more than adequate to keep the !@@
end of a tc down even on hard cornering. i would like to keep the weight
down as much as possible.

their reply was good saying that they would look into developing an x-brace.
and to see if anyone else i knew would be into an idea like this.

if you own a tc and like this idea, consider sending raceland an email saying
you think this is a good idea. who knows they might do a prototype run to
see how they sell.

click here to send an email

ill probably just make my own....... but for people not so diy hungry this might
be a good way to finally get a good frame bracing product for the tc.

lol i was hoping to at least get someone interested in making even a cheap version for our cars. doesn't take too much to cancel out frame warping.

when i get the materials to make mine it will cost about 90 dollars tops. i might outsource to cliff if he can fab some mounts for the struts and c pillar locations.

but only after paying off the seat guy. hell break my kneecaps.........lol

btw thanks again kanchi

Its all good Pdiddy. I might have to see if i can get ahold of a ~94 integra miracle bar and try this, if the measurements are close this could open some doors for us!
