dte diff brace?
who sells them, and are they reccomended for a car with 600 and change to the wheels. I was planning on getting one, I just wanna see what you guys say. And to pre-empt some of you yes I already have purchased both upgraded halfshafts.

LG motorsports for the coupler, also someone was selling there own version of the torque tube couplers on this site. A couple of vendors on the left hand side of this page sell the DTE brace. Also this guy makes alot of good products take a look at this link.

Are these braces worth the money spent? I ask because I had my car in NJ with the Cartek guys and asked to have one installed and they basically told me not to waste my money. I had a brand new one before and sold it because I was leavng the country for work. Now im really curious if I need one or not.

The Z06 has a stronger 3-rib case and still isn't enough. If you wheel hop with stock horsepower, you can break it. Not as likely but it can happen.
If you drive nicely and don't drag race, you may be ok. Add some traction to a nice powered vette and your risk increases. Most people who ask drive the way I do and need one.
Get one or always wonder if you need one until you find out you did and have to replace the tranny and diff. They're just too cheap not to do it.
