Default Camber-brace Group Purchase??

I have received 2 emails this week requesting information on any up coming Camber-brace sales.

I need at least 5 sales to get the GP price down to the $157.50 price that we ran a couple of months ago. If anyone else would be interested, let me know. If we can get 10 units committed, I would be willing to drop it down to $150. As before, I'll cover the UPS ground shipping.

Email or call 573-756-6954 to get on the list or to place an order. Once the GP is a go I'll have it set up in the Mall.

Thanks,

I'm interested, any downsides other than if you work on the front of the engine you have to remove the camber brace?

I'm running a Paxton supercharger on my'vette. From the pictures I've seen, it looks like this (or my relocated alternator) may be in the way of the camber-brace? Do you know if it would still fit or not?

I'd be *VERY* interested in this, but can only commit after I start my summer job on May 13th. If the GP will still be going on then, you can cout one of those braces as sold!

One question though. I'm planning on installing a DRM coil over kit a little later this year. Are there any known issues in using your brace with this kit?

A few things for an LT1/4:

1.) The serpentine belt has to come off, it's a bitch getting the belt back on.

2.) Be real careful with the ECT sensor's connector, it's real easy to rip it off. I'd pull the connector before trying to slip the brace, then reconnect it before tightening the brace.

3.) I wasn't able the install the brace without scratching the poopie out of it. I still have the factory hose clamps on and the the heater hose clamp's wings were positioned just right so they caught the brace and scrached it.

It is a great mod, esp considering the price.

I do not know for sure either way. The brace crosses in front of the waterpump at it's centerline. Anything above that should be okay. I sure you would have to disassemble your set-up to install it. Give me a call if you want to try one.

You got it! From my personal experiences and the feedback I've gotten from Customers, it's well worth it. :yesnod:

From what I've seen of the coil over installation, the upper control arm mounts are not changed. There should be no problem at all, if there is just give me a call.

Will it work on an LT1 car with the Meziere Electric waterpump?

Not yet, We have done some proto-type work, but will need to have a car in our shop for a day to complete it. Then it's a problem of finding a local car to grab.

Someday soon I hope. :)

I have a 96 LT4 and Hooker Long tube headers, would there be
any install problem?

If we total of 10 orders it will go down to $150.00 delivered price?

If you are thinking about it DO IT, the price is great and it really helps the car out. I have had mine for a few months and absolutely love it. Waiting to save up enough to order the cross bar or the new one he has for the car when the top is off. Great product, and even better customer service :cheers: :cheers:

Long tube headers will not be a problem at all.

If you want to place an order and wait for the 10th unit, I will let you have it for the $150.00 price. We are on number 5 right now with confirmed orders placed. Several members have said yes, but have not committed an order. Give me a call if you want to confirm an order and wait for #10.
