member braces

hey guys
happy new year to everyone

i ve seen several posts regarding member braces.
i was thinking of getting a set for my fd. I m currently expecting to reach 400+ rwhp with upgraded twins, its for street use and no track use, i would want to go with something "smooth"

i ve seen the a-spec Transmission and differential Brace
and the Autoexe member brace set

i know autoexe is more expensive and some people would choose the a-spec.
if money is not an issue, which one would you choose? and why ?

Has anyone tried the autoexe? any feedback?

i have read that the a-spec(or maybe any transmission brace) causes some sort of a noise.

the autoexe looks a more solid application to me, however it could be used for different purposes.

let me know guys

Thanks

Con

Do some searching. The braces that you mentioned (diff brace, tranny brace, autoexe under braces) are all meant for different purposes. Also check out the Garfinkle torque brace.

I run both a-spec braces. They've not caused any noise that I could ever tell.

Well, the kicker is since I've put them on, I haven't had any track time. But as far as the street goes, they're good to go.

You may want to look at our differential brace, it is a different design from the "T", and weighs a lot less

I use the Banzai with great sucess. No wheel hop, and I haven't notuice an increase in noise. I had the T design before.

Ok, I didn't comment on it before as I haven't installed it yet, but I do have the Banzai brace as well. I needed it due to exhaust clearance issues. I'm sure it'll do just as well.

The banzai unit looks a lot like the re amemiya unit, which is a plus in my book.

I think they took it off. Theirs was yellow. Here's a pic of the Makers 7 Diff brace. I personally when I have the money to, will be using the banzai unit.

Just put it on
Very minor changes - limited cut-out of undertray
However there is a noticeable difference in chassis stiffness resulting in the suspension working better
