Installation of this brace may require partial removal of the rear differential

When you have SPL solid diff bushings. There is no movement. The diff sits where it sits.

They may not have thought about that when the made the mount. Maybe they figured there would be enough movement to be able to fudge the diff enough to be able to install the bolt.

Something else I forgot to mention. On the bends of the brace. There is weld beads on the bends? The only thing that I can figure out. Is that when they bent the metal to shape. The metal cracked at the bends and they welded over the cracks to hide them.

Piss poor.

I just got done writing a review on the brace on Z1's website.

Wonder if it gets reviewed first before they put it up.

Thank you Rusty for the thread and heads up, in fact, I was planning to order mine and I found two options Bell Raceworks and Z1. Since i have stillen exhaust, which one you recommend, Z1 will work?

Appreciate your reply.

I would get the Z1 brace before the Bell braces. Think Z1 finally got around to my criticism of the Bell brace.
