Rep Power: 0

my tanabe underbrace came today, i took it out of the box and it's in a bag type thing and it doesn't weigh as much as i thought it would but it feels pretty strong, havn't looked at the directions yet but cause there is only 4 points to bolt it on I'm sure it won't be too much of a problem... I'll probably do it by friday depending on the weather. It should make a great additive to my neuspeed front and cusco rear tie bars I can't wait to feel it.

it doesn't weigh alot because it is hollow.

Hollow doesn't really mean weaker...there is more surface area on a hollow tube. Depends on how well it was desighned.

All the loading is on the outer walls anyways... so having anything in the center is just wasted material and dead weight.

Yeah, Tanabe finally let these go.
I got a thread in the retail section with a pic.
