DTE Brace - At what point do you need it?
Curious when you need to install this brace, or when is it a "have to have" rather then a "nice to have". I don't race the car at the track and I don't drop the clutch. I do occasionally squeeze the go button from a roll and will soon be installing the Stage IV DTE 3.90 differential that is on my bench.

I'm ordering mine today but i'll be tracking mine probably every weekend.
LPE sugggest any car with 440hp or more it's a must have.

The DTE warranty is very specific about wheel hop and has a lot of discussion that it will void any warrany on the differential. I am just trying to figure out if the brace is needed in my case since I don't race the car or drop the clutch.

^ Alright thanks guys....I gotta put a clutch in so ill just do output shafts while Im in there. I know the left one break most often so I will probably get one of those from DTE but doesnt the right one come with a new gear or something and is that one completely necessary if I dont go to the track very often at all ??
