Engine brace should be a damper, not a solid piece of rod which has no give. A engine brace is supposed to dampen the shock from shifting, not preventing engine from moving. If you want to prevent engine from moving, you should just get solid aluminum motor mountings. A solid engine brace without any play puts too much stress on the lower manifold and also the chassis. The constant stress creates fatigue on the metal and eventually it's going to crack. I have seen a car with a solid engine brace and the frame part where the bracket mounts to was already cracked.
Recently there are lot of engine braces coming out but none of them is the damper type. The FEED one is not a damper type either. It looks like a damper but it's not. I have bought a few already so I know for sure.
The brackets and the outter casing for the damper are made of 6061 T6 aluminum. All the mounting nuts and bolts will be in stainless steel. All the components are the highest quality possible.
If you notice the brackets have no holes to mount the damper, it's because they are not drilled yet.
The price for the Rotary Extreme engine brace will be $225 + shipping.
