my aim is TOP NOTCH customer support!

see above re-upgrading.

we're at 4 ordered so far since sunday, and i aim to place the order for the braces before friday, if i haven't hit 10 by then, i'll use a credit card, but don't want to. (initial cost of buying out goofyguy set me back for the initial run).

once we hit 10 i can order and i expect a two week timeframe for them to be at your door. so hopefully i can order before friday. the braces take 4-5 business days to get to me, and i'll have already started to make the brackets. i'll be using UPS to ship so i can provide tracking on all my orders, so however long it takes them, usually less than 1 week (except canada)

here's a quote from somebody i asked review the cobalt brace:

"I have been using mine for about a month now and love it. I can not believe how much this helped out on stopping wheel hope. The way it is designed and materials it is made of are outstanding. I would high recommend this to anyone who is/has wheel hope problems. This was the first mod that i did to my car and very happy with it. The driving and shifting seems to be alot quick meaning the power gets to the ground fast as the motor is not getting the chance to flex. The strut holds it in place with minimal deflection. The new bolt in design makes it easy to install and fast i installed min in about 10 minutes. I am looking forward to the new 3.3 for even better traction at the track."

i'll be gathering reviews as i get them and adding them to my site. i've also got some pictures of the new design i'll be adding later, for now i go finish my workbench so i can get to working!

yeah that is all that i paid 100 dollars. The more people that go in to buy it the quicker we can get it. I almost bought it from Goofyguy but i did not want to drill wholes in my new car so i passed. Now that it is cheaper and easier to install i went right ahead and purchased it. Can not wait for that and my shifter to come in. I GOT THE JONES YO. lol

thats if you want to buy both the front and the rear ones. which if you think about it you are saving 25 dollars. I just went down a little bit the 3.1 is the front 3.2 rear and 3.3 is both then you pick your color. I went with blue b/c blue on black specially with my neons.

you can always upgrade to the 3.3 for track use later, it's for the hardcore types that want the ultimate in traction. you'll still get some hop at the strip with the single brace, but the dual brace is like a full solid mount and your engine is going nowhere, yet it also transmits vibrations, etc., like a solid mount. the beauty of it is that you can remove one brace in a couple minutes when you're not at the track, and enjoy a nice daily drive.

you can pay via credit card too, just click "i don't have a paypal account" or "don't have a paypal account" and it'll ask you to enter your info like normal. nice feature if you ask me.

next day shipping is more expensive, by a good amount, but e-mail me at "vita@ironmandevelopments.com" and i'll stick it in my followup folder and remind you.

and sorry for the delay, but i've got some pictures of the 3.1 on a cobalt, as desired!

here you go!

please note that the brackets on this one are NOT what you'll be getting, they'll look MUCH better than this!

ok, order placed right now, they'll have the $ tomorrow, and from here it's the waiting game. if all goes well, i'll be cranking these out next weekend, but they did quote me 4-5 business days to ship, let's hope it's on the 4day side of things.

Hey is there anyway to bypass payign duty?? Cause I am thinking about getting the 3.3 since I like to go to the track and I hate the wheel hop.. But I don't want to be paying $175amr plus like duty ontop of that.. Cause they could end up costing me like $300

if you ask me it's even worth it for the fact that it'll take stress off your motor/tranny mounts, and thereby the drivetrain components. worst part is the loss of rubber...


I have to question this, you say you put down dual patches meaning you had both tires spinning? And i assuming that open diff. means no LSD? If this is true then some torque braces won't do anything for making two tires spins instead of one. This might elimate wheel hop but will do nothing for the single tire spin. Unless yours is special?

yes it will, it helps create tq transfer to both wheels. one initially spins more than the other since its open differential but due to engine movement and poor hp/tq transfer 1 wheel gets a majority of the power causing the other one not to get enough power to spin tires. it increases drive train loss. with mounts, or tq braces it helps reduce drive train loss and gives more even power to both wheels. a lsd helps more, but imagin lsd plus these both wheels will spin even and with even more power.
