well of course I was exaggerating the point and you'd need considerable equipment to do it in the 1st place.

Ya the IP has 2 bolt mounting which I bought bc the SP unit wasnt being actively sold when IP released theirs. Ohh well..

I just dont like how the rear subframe is hollow and pinches when you tighten down the brace. Not to mention you really shouldnt jack from the rear diff anymore, since all the car weight in on those bolts/alum subframe, since you are not compressing the diff mounts anymore....

Ahh yes, the standard trouble understanding sarcasm and emphasis over the internet. lol I get it now

We were actively selling the Diff Brace, just no one was advertising it! I found these pictures, knowing that we offer these, and couldn't find them posted anywhere. BAM!! Posted

Quick Question... I have base 370z without sport brakes.. So I am going to go with a 15 inch wheel in the rear with MT or Hoosie DR ...

Im trying to keep my stock 19s (rays from sport model) on the front... the 275/60/19 tire is about the same size as stock... would it be better to run a 60 or 50 tire on the rear ???

again I plan to keep my stock tires up front on... 28.6 diameter i believe. the 60 series tire is 28" .....

thanks for the help! these threads have been very useful.

You are going to be running a radial up front and a bias ply out back. It is a bit tricky as the rear end will want to sway a bit, however if you are dead set on running this setup, get the Hoosier QTP as they are far more stable up top than the Mickey's.

It doesn't really matter what series sidewall you have, you don't need to keep it perfect with the fronts. The taller the sidewall in drag racing, the better traction you will have.

/\/\/\ I know. Thats why I started following these threads. Also FYI, I'm going with a widebody kit when I get the car back, so I can run wider rims/tires or different offsets if necessary to clear my BBK.
Reid, I am open to suggestions.

Randy, taller is more important than wider in drag racing, but going wider definitely won't hurt you!
