Cup style brace/ traction bar for Solo-2 (Auto-X)?

[super vw]

Do you guys think i would need a traction bar/cup brace for Auto-X (Solo-2) racing?
If any of you guys dont know what this is, Auto-x starts off with a "drag" style start then moves into a tight and twisty course around cones. Normaly lap times are a minute or less depeding on the track setup.

My Beetle is a 74 super, and i have a 1914cc engine in the works, maybe maknig 110-130HP. I will have 7"/16" inch rims on the rear.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Jonathan

I have heard only good things about the kafer cup stlye brace. I just installed mine on my chassis last night and you can hear the difference in the chassis when you tap on it with a hammer. Before it went "thud..." and with the brace it make "binnnnng..." sound. It just sounds more rigid to me just sitting there on jackstands.

Thanks... but i need to here from some one who has done Auto-X or used the brace in the same manner.

I do think it would help, but to spend 300 bucks on somthing thats not totaly needed or would not help a lot than i dont see why. I could make one my self (that i most likely will do) but again, spending TIME fabing out up and searching for parts is also an issue.

Maybe if there is enough interest we could get another group buy started for a kafer cup brace. I got a sweet deal on mine.

BTW, I have a rear swaybar that I was thinking about selling. If you need one let me know.

Yeah, perhaps there is some strong intrest in another group buy? I know im intersted if i can get one for a good price. BTW how much did you fork over for yours durring that last group buy?

Ha.. funny you mention a sway bar, becuase as of 15 minutes ago i just instaled a 944 unit :P
Thanks for the offer though.
