I'm still going to buy one. The three bar set-up is in my budget.:D

hybrid_john December 13th 2003 01:17

Do they take any other type of payment? I don't have a credit-card....I REALLY want the brace but I think that I'll stick with the three-bar setup.
BTW: what are the advantages of the 5-bar setup over the 3-bar?
And (being ignorant again) how do I calculate euros into dollars?

150 euros = $185 dollars. I think. :)

I multiply the euro amount by 1.225 to get the dollar amount.:D

Alex December 13th 2003 09:18

I guess you could send an international money order or wire the money into the shop account.

I would guess that 5 bar setup is even stronger than the 3 bar setup. I am not sure if it is really needed......I just like the looks.

You can go to www.xe.com to calculate how much it is in US funds.

Thanx you guys, I appreciate the money help:D

genius: you were right on the MONEY! 150 EUR = 184.110 USD
1 EUR = 1.22740 USD

Alex: an international money order would probably be the easiest way to pay for the Kafer brace. If it takes long enough for me to save up around $350 I might, (MIGHT!), buy a 5-bar setup, if not I will go with a 3-bar setup.

Another question: If I buy the 3-bar setup, can I always ad the two extra bars in the future? Or would I have to buy a Kafer brace all over again?

Alex December 13th 2003 18:46

njv,

I know Mariano....I got some parts from him.

They will be shipped directly to the individuals......I have nothing to do with the deal except for making the contact with the shop.

I am not sure how it will work with the taxes since you are in Germany.

Oh Yeah. I already fabricated my own. 3/4" cromoly tubing, 6 hiem joints (3right 3left thread). 70 inches of tubing and two shock brackets from scratch. about $70.

Pros - Hand built. (i know it was done right)

Cheap

strong

No shipping


Who cares if you have shiny stuff under your car if no one can see it? Mine's black.

hybrid_john December 14th 2003 02:19

Right on cooter, how much doese it weigh in at? Can you post a pic of it, so we can see how it looks?

KUDOS man, KUDOS!


John

juse December 16th 2003 03:06

70$ sounds fine Cooter, as you used heim-ends and chromoly. But mine cost 0$, no shiny bits and painted in black. Looks OK and does the job.

So I guess that there is no more interest in the KC Brace?

Alex

boygenius December 19th 2003 20:36

I guess so.:(

craazy Cooter December 19th 2003 22:14

I ll get a pic of it sometime. It weighs 5 lbs or so. pretty light. It should be cool with my konis and unsprung clutch disk.

jrinlv December 20th 2003 01:19

hybrid_john December 21st 2003 00:23
