Default C.H.E. K-member brace w/ torque limiters..... WOW!!!!

I just installed the C.H.E. K-member brace with engine torque limiters on a customer car yesterday and I must say HOLY COW!!! You don't realize how much drive train slop there is in these cars until you install one of these. The vehicle is a lot more rigid and solid feeling over bumps and turns without affecting the ride. It's also a lot more stable over rough roads I assume due to the engine and tranny not sloshing around. The shifting is a bit smoother and driveability of the car is improved when changing gears. The only draw back is a bit of vibration by my feet under light acceleration but it goes away over 2K rpm and is not present when cruising. All and all a must have if you're looking for a more rigid chassis and driveline.
I don't think any official sponsor carry C.H.E. so I don't think I'll be stepping on toes if I redirect you guys here. C.H.E.K-MEMBER BRACE Thank you and God bless

I've been looking at these for a long while now, and just ordered one. I was gonna have to get under the car to car anyways to run wires for my new cutouts so I figured thats a good enough reason.


Hard hards the install? I think I remember reading that its supposed to be pretty easy. It cant be any harder than the last time I was under my car to install my LTs.

Thank you for your purchase. The install is fairly easy especially if you have some mechanical experience. The instructions are easy to follow, the only specialty tool required is a torque wrench in ft-lbs that goes to atleast 100

Plus there is plenty of clearance between the kooks LT's and the CHE torque brace...

It is one of the contributing factors. A new shifter will help, MGW or the steeda Tri-AX
