Fred,

I removed the brace on both of my Stockers. I have quite a lot of passes on both cars without problems. Memory says that the brace weighs betwean 6 and 7 pounds.

Best Regards,


Daren

Except for a "straight line only" car, this has to be one of the more foolish "mods" that I have ever heard of. Again, if it's a drag race car, that's one thing. But if it sees street use, the amount of weight is trivial compared to anything that compromises structural integrity.

i just removed mine as well to make room for wheelie bars, since i relocated my PHR to mount up above where the upper brace used to mount on that bracket. i think on a setup like mine it would be perfectly fine since with the PHR mounted on high on the bracket like mine is now, it would put less of a strain on the bracket and the welds since the side forces would be applied from up closer to the top of the mount
