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.

I don't have a kafer brace, but I have autocrossed with and without a rear traction bar. I think you need something...i have to be very careful when I launch from start because I have huge sticky tires (225/50/15 Kumho autocross tires) and if I launch too hard, i get serious wheel hop...so I usually try and clutch launch it spinning the clutch instead of the tires.
Eventually I plan on getting a kafer brace, but for now, I just baby it a little off the start. For the most part, a drag race style launch doesn't do you much good in autocross. Watch the really competitive racers and most of them take a slow steady launch. Nick Last edited by Aurumen; April 19th 2004 at 12:18.

Me too. I found a 20mm swaybar with shackles and hardware for $30 shipped. I just had to order some swaybar clamps and make the bushing perches on the torsion tube.

I might be interested if it's cheap enough. What was the ballpark for the group buy last time?

I made mine and it was easy. Yes for autocross and roadrace it does make a difference. Less understeer, and stiffer rear suspension. also now no wheel hop.

could you give us some details on what materials to use, dimentions and perhaps where you got your supplies at in order to make our own.
Thanks, Jonathan
