I race SCCA BSP in my 86 coupe. I need to know how this brace is set up to know if it will be legal.

Thanks,
Stealthvette

I also run BSP with my 84 and have passed every inspection with it installed. I've had several people consult the rules after they been beat by a "Cross-fire" and no problems with the brace.

The GP will end this week-end. Don't niss out on this bottom line price, It'll never be cheaper than it is now on this GP.

Just ordered mine today. With the holiday weekend coming up, don't expect it until next week and that's OK. Look forward to putting it in.

Thanks Dave.

Did you change any pulleys on the front of your engine? Did you stroke the L-83 or use another engine for the base? What are you using for belt tension?

If you can, email me some engine pictures of the front of the engine area.

Thanks,
Dave

If we could get 5 Cross-bar sales in a group, I could drop the price to $260 each and split the shipping. (instead of $17.50 frt, would be $8.75). And so it does not take away from Brooke's raffle, I will donate $10.00 from each sale to the fund. Let me know and I'll get it set-up in the Mall.
agh! your going M.A.D. i'll be putting in my order as soon as i get home for the cross bar. if you need 5 for a cross-bar gp, put me down as one. $269 is a good price. now to add will there be a targa truss gp?

Don't forget to measure your car before you order. 1990's can go either way.

Dave,

Got the Cross-Bar in today. Works great. Can you put me on the list for the group price on the Camber-Brace? Thanks!

VetteWave, the cross-bar/camber-brace is a great combination, you won't be disappointed.

You know, I was going to either sell mine through the forum or return it (still brand new in the box). However, since I've been hearing everyone rave about it, what is an additional 20 pounds? Looks like I'll install it to verify all these claims about stiffening up the car in the corners! :)

I'm considering a ATI Pro-Charger next year - does anyone know if the Camber-brace will interfere with the blower installation? TIA! :)

Sorry, the brace will not fit with the Pro-Charger installation.

Because of being behind on getting the orders out the door, I will continue to honor the GP pricing until we're caught up.

Thanks to everyone for your business and your support.
