I'm getting the DDM stage II installed at the beginning of march. Will I have a problem installing this afterwards?

Thanks!

I have asked the fabricator to make me 10 even though we have not reach that figured as of today.
I will have 3 RED powder coated within the 10 made, however instead of the $10 it will be $15.
Silver powder coating the usual $5.00 + $95.00(LVKFCB) = $100.00 plus shipping.
RED powder coating $15.00 + $95.00(LVKFCB) = $110.00 plus shipping

If you want RED and do not want to pay the additional $5.00 (it was $10.00) then let me know ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Does the supercharger feed off the same crankshaft pulley as the power steering. If so there may not be room. LV, any installations with one? (Incase you  overlooked Houstice's query)

Too bad there is no answer to my question.
The ONLY people that can answer that question would be someone like Critterman that has a SC.
All he needs to do is get a piece of tubing about an 1" diameter and 27" long, then try to see if he can place it between the frames where the bolt is on the chassis.
If he does it and there is no obstructions then the LV Kappa Front Chassis Brace will work.
We know it works on 2.4 NA, what I do not know is what the SC assembly adds that my interfere with the LVKFCB.

UPDATE:

I have already heard from the fabricator and he is on board to make 10 by the 1st week of March.

One last thing, the member that I was very interested in doing the test will be doing it (God willing) on the 27th.

Critterman it only takes less than 15 minutes to take off some ones car and then it can be tried in yours.
But honestly if you can see no obstructions between the bolts on opposite side of the chassis then it will work

I think Critter would rather observe supervise someone checking out the fit on his car then having to do it himself.  After all he is tired from helping Joe out with that spoiler install, remember the pictures he posted a few days ago?  Critter when was that spoiler install anyway two or three years ago?

Thanks LV for your response, I appreciate it!

I think I will let it pass, even though I would like to install your brace, it seems a bit too complicated. But I'm not going to give up.

Critterman,

Will this brace fit with the DDM SC, even with an afterinstall? Thanks for your reply!!

Houstice:
My Brace can be install in less than 30 minutes, there is no complication to the install.
This was the main reason for the design.
DDM or someone with a SC already install are the only one's that can tell you if the LVKFCB will fit.
I can tell you the following, if DDM or WERKS would like to sell it(similar price) then I would be glad to give it up.

Thanks LV,

I know that your brace is easy to install l(Read your other threads). That's what I like about it.

What I meant about complicated is, that if I buy it and it doesn't fit then I'm stuck and have to try and sell it. That's all. I live and work in Munich,Germany but my Sol is at home in Houston.

I can't speak for DDM or Werks on your brace, I'm just a member here who is trying to improve his Sol. Therefore my interest in your brace.

I talked to Dave at DDM and asked him if it could fit, but he could not answer that. He hadn't seen anyone yet with a DDM SC and your brace.

I'm still interested. If anybody can tell me if it will fit it would help alot!

Thanks

Jason
