just stiffens the chassis. its no longer in production. D3 designs was the manufacturer. its the double-v brace. there was a front one (double-x) as well.

im sure there are some people who would buy it, but i would keep it.

edit:
double-x (not mine. borrowed from clubrsx)

there was supposed to be 3 pieces for the undercarriage. It was Dr. Design, i think from D3 or something similar.

The Double X Brace, this V Brace, and another piece not produced.

it is an amazing mod and wish i would have kept mine.

the only problem is it hangs kinda low, so it takes a beating.

you need a manufacturer before you have a group buy. LOL. maybe redbaron or SHG EasyE can jump on this...

tanabe made a front under brace. ultra racing makes a few as well. our vendor SSR brands them as "SSR."

Quiet you!!! :mbiggrin:

Seriously though, be good to see someone bring parts like this back to market, even if it was a limited run.

CTDfab, RedBaronSi and SHGeasyE are definitely the people to talk to about reproducing these. I would love it if they could make some more.
