Does anyone make a good diff brace for an Auto C6?

That makes two of us. I want to change my diff, but I'm waiting until I can get my hands on one of these, because I doubt it can be installed without at least dropping the cradle.

Assuming it's very similar to the one Christopher made for us, and it must be, it can be installed without dropping anything. At worst to make it a little easier you can just lower the cradle a few inches without touching anything but the cradle bolts.

I'm bumping this thread in hopes that Doug will come back on soon and tell us that he's going to soon do a run of these braces for the A6.
There's another thread on the FI forum that pretty much demonstrates why these things are a good addition for any one putting serious power through an A6.

I believe DTE used to make them. Are they still in biz since (I think the owner's name) Phil sold the co. to two employees?

Good to know that the brace can be installed with the trans and diff already in the car. I appreciate the info fellas.
I'm still waiting for this brace to be finished as well. It's the final piece of the puzzle for me too.

I'll take it if it's still available and I have a fedex account to cover shipping with. Ready to get this car finished. PayPal ready as well.
