Just another copy. Ask them what their HP guarantee is.
aluminum is not as strong as steel. Never has been, never will be. It will definately be lighter, but in no way, shape or form stronger.IronTerp said:I'm a big fan of MJ and Doug and understand some of the concerns above. But, the new brace from Steeda is made of cast aluminum which is "supposedly" lighter and stronger and possibly an improvement over the original. AND, the Steeda price is $179 + shipping while Dougie has his on sale for $165. If it's a true copy, why would anyone spend $25 more for the Steeda one??? Unless it is an improvement......

Tell your friends
Have them tell thier friends
Spread the word about Steala
oh...BTW Steala also copied my Snub Idler Bracket
and what really pisses me off is that another company, who is now a sponsorer of SVTPerformance.com, also ripped me off but I can't talk about them.

To whom it may concern:
Re: IRS brace
I just dont get it. You have clearly copied billetflows IRS brace with "your design." Why do you try and pass this product off as your own when you know that all of the innovation and design time was developed by Joe Lynch and Mark Chiapetta and Doug Holloway. I have owned and used my brace from billetflow since 5/04 without one concern.
See here to see your site for the brace. http://www.steeda.com/PR/Products/555-8118/555-8118.htm
See here to see billetflows site with his brace. http://www.billetflow.com/irs_brace.htm
See here as to when this was first developed.http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1051649&postcount=1
My question to you is; why don't you work with billetflow and distribute their product instead of making an ugly copy of it? What's next? Ripping off the next "little guy" that makes an innovative product? Your company has earned the name Steela on most of the svt message boards around. That's sad for a company of your size and supposed stature.
I am sure I wont receive a response to this, but if I do please explain away.
Kind Regards
