Available again. If you want one buy it now as it may not be available again.

And i just sold mine for $500..... Someone got a hell of a deal

I noticed this earlier today while perusing the online catalog. I think this is great as it indicates demand and it is good to see FRP make it available again.

I installed this kit in my GT500 and loved it. Very well engineered.

Another wallet vacuum that I'll probably end up getting sooner than later.

I could think of a lot better and more effective things to spend $1700. on.

Edit.

 

[BigTaco]

Exactly, but who is paying full retail ? The selling price will be lower I'm sure....

By the way, that's kind of a hard dig. Is one an idiot if they can afford it?

 

[k98dave]

Nope, Not about what one can afford, its about being taken. Its been awhile since I sourced material but .090 wall tubing went for about $10. per ft, add some brackets and pay someone to cut & weld and powder coat, Then some compressed particle board with glued on cheap carpet and you might have spent about $500-$600 tops. So guess the remaining $1100-$1200 would be for what? Shipping?

 

[TMSBOSS]

Don't like the price....don't buy it.

If you have a better solution....put it on the market and we will see who buys it.

 

[k98dave]

Didn't plan to, its all yours if you think you need it

Glad we have naysayers to piss on parades. Heck I now have two RSD and one is going to a certain individual but this is just like the track key. Supply and demand

 

[TymeSlayer]

I got a quote from Levittown for $1178 plus shipping but Benny is not expecting it to be available until the end of June.

 

[TMSBOSS]

$500.00 plus in discounts.

Who would a thunk it??

 

[Froggy47]

Does the kit actually bolt/weld on to anything? Think stiffening. Or does it just look nice?

It bolts in and according to engineers at Ford there was a reported ~10% increase in stiffness in the area it reinforced, IIRC.

 

[BigTaco]

That's what Ford was saying about the Brace; 10% improvement....

 

[Froggy47]

Hmmm, I'd love to see the attachments, it is a unibody car right? Not a frame car like Vettes.

Price making more sense if it adds stiffness.

Not that I am a "doubting Thomas" but like to see the engineering paper on the before after stiffness test.

Not going to believe much about "seat of the pants = wow it handles so much better".

Even b4 / after lap times have too many other variables.
