It is a very easy bolt on. I did it myself in about a hour. It is cheap insurance and I would never launch or race my car without it. you can buy it here:

Did the rear gear fluid leak out (when removing stock bolts) when installing the brace??
I'm going to keep LP busy this winter....I have raced without the brace, only on Nitto DR's though...cut 1.85's to date
