TSW X-Braces - revised and in stock!
It's been awhile since we've had x-braces in stock... Well, I'm now VERY proud to say that the new, revised x-braces are finally IN OUR HANDS and ready for shipment!
This version addresses two main complaints we heard from our customers:
1. It's too danged expensive (even though it IS worth it!).
2. The ferrules hang down too low.
So, what did we do? You provided us your feedback, and we listened. We went back to the drawing board... This version features l-brackets in lieu of the previous ferrules and is made from ERW steel in place of chromoly. The wall thickness on the ERW tubing is a bit beefier to offset the strength lost from switching from chromoly. The l-brackets are lower profile and made from very beefy 3/16 steel.
What did we sacrifice in the end? Not much. It provides the same benefits as the first release of x-braces. It took some time, true, but we're confident the new version hits the mark! This is still, hands down, the most effective chassis brace available for the MINI.
They're still made right here in Dallas from the BEST materials available... The powdercoating on the new units is stellar, too. Price is $379.
