If you want a brace that helps with wheel hop get the pfadt trans brace.
The brace's shown about meant to strengthen the joint of the trans and rear. Two different functions and both can be used together

My ECS trans/diff brace has been on for aproximately 5 years now.
If you look at it now it looks the same as the day I put it on.
If you were to look at a DTE brace, you're going to see some rust after a few years.
ECS in my opinion is easier to understand the instructions for install & adjustment.
The other brand, going back a few years made obtaining parts & units for that matter, practically impossible.
And lastly in my opinion, if you put both completed units side by side the ECS unit looks like the better, up to date, superior & best suited
unit for our cars.
For what it's worth, ECS's customer relations is second to none.
And better yet, look at the installation & adjustments for each unit & YOU come to your own conclusion.
Good luck.
