I have heard only good things about the kafer cup stlye brace. I just installed mine on my chassis last night and you can hear the difference in the chassis when you tap on it with a hammer. Before it went "thud..." and with the brace it make "binnnnng..." sound. It just sounds more rigid to me just sitting there on jackstands.

Thanks... but i need to here from some one who has done Auto-X or used the brace in the same manner.
I do think it would help, but to spend 300 bucks on somthing thats not totaly needed or would not help a lot than i dont see why. I could make one my self (that i most likely will do) but again, spending TIME fabing out up and searching for parts is also an issue. Later Jonathan

Maybe if there is enough interest we could get another group buy started for a kafer cup brace. I got a sweet deal on mine.

I don't have a kafer brace, but I have autocrossed with and without a rear traction bar. I think you need something...i have to be very careful when I launch from start because I have huge sticky tires (225/50/15 Kumho autocross tires) and if I launch too hard, i get serious wheel hop...so I usually try and clutch launch it spinning the clutch instead of the tires.
Eventually I plan on getting a kafer brace, but for now, I just baby it a little off the start. For the most part, a drag race style launch doesn't do you much good in autocross. Watch the really competitive racers and most of them take a slow steady launch. Nick Last edited by Aurumen; April 19th 2004 at 12:18.

Me too. I found a 20mm swaybar with shackles and hardware for $30 shipped. I just had to order some swaybar clamps and make the bushing perches on the torsion tube.

I might be interested if it's cheap enough. What was the ballpark for the group buy last time?
