Schnell Rear Strut Brace problem

[Carl AMG]

I ordered the Racing Dynamics front strut brace for my 987S and should have it soon. I haven't seen a complimentary rear brace made by Racing Dynamics yet so I'll just start with the front brace. The only rear brace I have seen was the Schnell product and I'd rather wait for something else.

I'll post my impressions but given this is a open top car I would think strut braces are a no brainer.

I just ordered the carbon fiber one off of eBay. Do you people think that the cf is the same strength as the original aluminum composed ones?

How does the brace work?
Once installed, does the bar help limit the pulling or the pushing out?

<<------>>(pushing)
or
>>------<< (pulling)

keeps it from pulling?
or pushing

Carl AMG, where did you buy it? Are you going to install it yourself? Thanks.

I ordered it from http://www.********************************************************************.com/product_p/rd-997.99.00.010.htm and I will install it myself. I understand it should be an easy installation (at least on the front brace) for the Boxster. I have installed braces on other cars and it is typically very easy.

CarlAMG, please report back after the install. Let us know how long the job takes and the handeling results. Thanks!!

BobMarley, FYI, EagleDay will price match. They have done this for me in the past. If you purchased it recently, you may want to call them and kindly request a refund or credit towards a future purchase. All they can say is no!
