I posted this in the Members Corner, but since its somewhat performance oriented I thought I'd put it up here.

Basically, I ordered a set of spoon strut braces 5 months ago from R&D. As far as I know they are still in production. I'm not trying to bitch to anyone for this or anything, but I was just wondering if you guys think I should keep waiting for them, or if I should get something else instead. I was thinking of a Fidanza or Aesco flywheel because I was planning to get one when my clutch goes anyway - that way it'll be waiting for when it comes time to replace the clutch. So, do you all think I should keep waiting for the braces, or get something else. I can always get neuspeed braces sometime later. Any thoughts?

 

How much are the spoons?

 

I loved my neuspeed front strut brace, better than ones like DC IMO because it attaches to the A-arm bolts rather than the 3 on the top of the shock hat.....
Get the flywheel tho, you're not gonna want to take that tranny off ever again after the clutch

braces were $337 shipped

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang! $$$$$$$
Get a neuspeed front for $90 and a DC rear lower tie bar for $120 and you'll be better off

And you are asking if they are worth the wait? This post should read, are they worth the money.

 

Yeah I know. I ordered them when I was still a newb though. If I only knew then what I know now.

 

I think you just answered your own question.

 

Yup, BTW, nice avatar

 

hehe, thanks man. that was this girl i met at our hotel at nopi, i convinced her to pose topless on my friends cars as well as mine. i thought a picture with me holding her boobies would be nice to have.

 

R and D got the Spoons in this week. I talked to David today.

 

really, well thats good - I guess. Hopefully my order is in that shipment. If it aint, I'm canceling it.

 

Damn, I misunderstood him. They got to port this week and they should be at the shop later this week. Don't forget to congratulate him on his new baby.
