Camber-brace and Cross-bar GP!!!!
I've had a couple of emails this week-end inquiring about if there will be anymore GP's on the Camber-brace since it came out in MAD's C4 book and the answer is "yes".
If there is any interest other than the 2 members that emailed me let me know. Drop me an email or post it here. We'll decide on what we can do after I see what kind of responce there is.
I have been trying to get to "Cross-frame" ready for introduction, so I have been backing off on the specials the past few weeks.
Later,
Dave :seeya

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (84c4)
Can you give us more information about the cross-frame? What does it do? How easy is it to install? How much will it be?

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (VetteWave)
I promise, it won't be to much longer on the "Cross-frame". I just wanted to be sure that it was right before putting it on the market. It's hard to give a lot of details without pictures of the product. It does criss-cross the frame like the convertible x-frame, mounting at the same location on the front as the convertible, with different mounting in the rear. It is made from 1x3 inch retangular thin wall tubing and does not require anchoring to the floor pan. The initial run will be for stock type exhaust systems, with units for headers to follow.
I've had some issues come up to delay it's introduction, but should have something for the Forum in the next couple of weeks.

Re: Another Camber-brace GP???
I'm interested. Of course I'm also interested in the cross-frame. How did the testing go on the cross-frame Dave? How much does it tighten up the car?

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (84c4)
So, do you have a ballpark price on the cross-frame? I'm shooting for the trifecta! :D

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (84c4)
If i have money left over after moving this month...Im in. (camber brace)
I know....that's almost as solid as "kinda pregnant".... :crazy:
Speaking of the Cross Bar....I should have bought one of Dave's instead of the one I got (Hard-Bar). Where mine is currently located, Id crack my skull clean open if someone rear-ended me on that thing. Dave, you dont have a trade-in program on these things do ya? You know...where I turn in a competitors product for a discount on yours... :D

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (VetteNoob)
I may be interested if the price is right- I would go for a Camber brace, cross bar, and the one for the inside(forgot name). The targa stiffener is just too pricey- but I would love one!!

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (GusBustamanteJr)
Gp details:
Camber-brace = $156.25 with free shipping to the lower 48.
Cross-bar = $260.00 with free shipping to the lower 48
Buy both and get a free R-D Racing t-shirt(while supply last)
I'll get with Bigtoe to set-up the Mall or you can also call to place your order.
Thanks,

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (84c4)
What about a price on the Targa-truss? Also, I seem to remember their being an issue with electric waterpumps and the camber-brace, is this correct? I don't have an electric waterpump, but I was seriously thinking about putting one in this winter and I'd need to decide if it won't work with the camber-brace.

Give me a call on the targa-truss.

Re: Another Camber-brace GP??? (84c4)
I have the cross-bar and Camer brace, they are great. I too am interested in the Cross-frame. What was the ride like after the install, was it on a stock C4? 1x3 is nice and big, but how much does it weigh? We need pics! :yesnod:
