Default Help me out with the design...Help me test.

I am creating some sway bar braces, much like others on the market, and would like to know what you guys...the market...would like to see. Here is a rendering of what they look like.
Basic design incorporates an M8 bolt, to prevent the enlarging of the upper hole like other kits.

Like the title suggests, I am also looking for a couple of you that might be interested in testing these guys.

The initial design was around a EG hatch. Let me know if you think it might fit your years though. Or tell me what needs to change to make it fit.

read up on the beaks kit. People tear out subrames ever with that kit. Until someone comes out with a bolt on kit that mounts the sway bar like it is in an EF, rear subframes will rip with big sway bars.

You really only have to worry about that if you are using a sway bar bigger than 19mm if you really want to make a sway bar plate look at the ASR plater thats hot and it works

I know it looks like other kits, its like trying to reinvent the mouse-trap.

As for a full brace, that is the next step in development. I don't understand why there seems to be so few options when shopping for these products. I belive that we should have options. And that is the reason for the testing. Tell me what you'd like to see. If you think there would be a better way to go about this design, to accomodate even the large sway-bars let me know. That is the best part of having options, you start to have a voice in the market. I will not argue that these are just as good as a full brace, but not everyone needs a full-brace. Please feel free to give both positive and negative feedback on these.

Until you create something that costs less than $50 or is better than the ASR brace .....

You may be SOL for having a marketable product.

Also, why did you create two different threads in the same section on the same day?
