Titanium Series Shock Tower Brace

What do you guys know about Comptech's Titanium brace? I'm assuming it's the same as a "tie bar"? (I'm pretty clueless on this stuff...but I'm learning)

I've been looking at a Neuspeed tie bar, but saw Comptech's Titanium bar and want to know which one is better. The Comptech is more expensive, but didn't know if the $$$ was worth it.

Thanks a lot for your input!

Does anyone have a T.S. brace, or know of anyone who shelled out the cash for one?

Would Comptech Sways & Titanium Shock Brace be "overkill"? :banghead:

VTECHTLtypeS....can't wait to see those pics and hear what you think! I'm 80% sure I'm going to go with the C-tech Titanium over the Neuspeed.

Was there any wait time for the Titanium brace? Were they backordered at all?

I believe it's a sticker...in all my experience...almost no one ever engraves they're name into their stuff...they make another plate and weld it to it, but never engrave directly on it.

If you check on your stock bar, you'll notice that where the bar ties to the firewall, they have a place to hold all your cables together. The comptech one doesn't have this and you have to use tie wrap.
