It will not cover the oil pan, however the 4 Point ladder brace will!

And it will be $385 Shipped.....

Hey man what about making some type of handling arms. JIC is the only company that has them and they kind of pricey. Now if we had more options with possibly cheaper prices im sure lots of people would be interested. It would help some with their alignments, and give us those aggressive stance some of us want.

That would be easily achievable, The Fluid Bank Account can support only so much R&D and new products....

If we were able to get 10-15 people together it would be easily achievable and very cost effective.

I already know of one company releasing control arms and toe arms for a very fair price.

There are way tooo many products running thru my head at the moment and we are on track to release another three into the market within the month.

We just cannot keep up, this bracing project alone we are investing a large sum of money.

We still need more input on what needs to go through for final development on this bracing project.

Untrue, Revolution, RMagic, One's, SuperNow, JIC, and ERC all make control arms, and yes they are expensive for a reason these are considered extremely high performance items...

Would the rear lateral brace or the rear tie brace kink up over the exhaust? Similar to Autoexe's?

Actually i'm not sure if it would be possible for both pieces to do so but that feature would push me in the right direction for those two items.

Yes it will go over the exhaust, reference Number 7 it will be potentially connecting the two points or all 4 points, which will be decided during R&D.

2 or 4 that is...

Links to all this? only seen JIC's really.

Rotr8 01-03-2009 11:54 PM

I dont think its really appropriate to post it here,,, but http://www.rhdjapan.com/index.php has alot of these...

paulmasoner 01-04-2009 12:38 AM

i voted for the alum undertray. I'd definately consider it if it had much improved mounting over the OEM. unfortunately i think thats polly a bit out of the design idea and cost effectiveness for you

Noted!

Thank you for the input!

the_duke313 01-12-2009 12:33 AM

updates?

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 01-12-2009 01:08 AM

yea what the hell! the people demand answers and updates! *cracks whip*

YaRiX8 01-12-2009 01:42 PM

For the 4 points struct bar (with or without master cylinder): do not block the access to the top of the suspensions. I have K&W Variant 3 coilovers and I can adjust the compression using the screw which is on the top of the coilovers.

Mazdaspeed and Autoexe ones allow easy access -> OK
Corksport -> Not OK

Will you also be making a 4 point rear strut bar?

Race Roots 01-13-2009 07:15 PM

It will be easy to adjust coil over setups, it will be completely open on the top (somewhat). We will be making a complete cage system for the car.

Rotr8 01-17-2009 09:27 AM

any updates of what products are going to be released???

Ross_Dawg 01-17-2009 09:05 PM

I'd definitely take a 4 pt. strut bar

Highway8 01-30-2009 12:26 AM

Updates. Tax refund should be coming in a few months and I want to make plans.

Race Roots 02-09-2009 09:37 PM

And....the Underpanel made it into production!

The rest are debateable...things are slow but unless everyone wants to start putting up down payments for a reduced price to get these into production. I think that the underpanel will be the winner.

But you never know, people might want to do a group buy for a slightly reduced price....

How is interested in the GB...?

lilring 02-10-2009 12:04 AM

^ I might be depends on the price though since times are tough right now

apocolypse31 02-10-2009 12:14 AM

wow alot of goodies here,i definetly would get the aluminum under tray

8 Maniac 02-10-2009 01:27 AM

I might have missed it, but will the undertray weigh more? If so, how much?

Actual weight has yet to be determined hence it doesnt exist at the moment.

Race Roots 02-10-2009 11:14 AM

I can not discuss on open forums pricing I would be offering but it would be pretty good depending on how much you are getting.

Also depends if there are enough people buying....

Few more questions on the 4-point. Would it be hinged against the firewall similar to the JIC or more like the 09 strut bars? Any idea what material - aluminum, CF, something else? And last do you have any idea what bar thickness you'd be talking about?

More looking at the practical side of this then looks although if you powdercoated it pink I'd probably have to stay away... ;)
