Why would you want or need a ECS Trans / Rear Brace?

Ever launch your Corvette hard, and it feels like the wheels are hopping? That wheel hop is actually the Drive line of your Corvette Shaking. In the C5 and C6 Corvette the transmission essentially “floats” in the driveline. It is not mounted to the chassis whatsoever. The Engine is mounted to the front cradle via the engine mounts and the rear end to the rear chassis. Both Factory mounts are rubber, and allow a certain amount of movement – especially under hard launches. This movement is felt, and usually explained as wheel hop and it can do some serious damage to your car!

So what does a ECS Trans Brace Do?

The ECS Trans / Rear Brace gives added rigidity to the entire driveline by tying the trans and rear together as a complete, more rigid unit. The ECS Trans Brace is made from top quality materials. Front and rear mounts are fabricated from laser coated, zinc coated steel with stainless steel hardware and aluminum tension rods to ensure a long lasting, rust free finish. The tension rods are turned from billet aluminum with high quality stainless steel heim joints with stainless steel hardware. The aluminum rod design provides increased strength, with heat expansion principles that match that of the aluminum transmission and differential.

The entire kit is easily installed or removed while using a lift or jack stands while the driveline is in the car. Lowering of the sub-frame is necessary for easier access to the M6/M12/A4 transmission brackets and is designed to be a true, bolt-on installation kit that can be installed in a few hours using regular, commonly found metric/SAE hand tools. There is also no driveline vibration/noise resonated into the passenger compartment/cabin of any kind and interior sound levels are unaffected by the brace.

Still hasn’t shipped?

Said it would be delivered on the 22nd and it’s the 27th and it still hasn’t shipped?

Correct, everything gets processed so when pieces come in to assemble kits they go right in the box and out the door saves time. Busiest time of the year on their best selling item. Usually its 3-4 days to get out when inventory is stable but its crazy right now with install and tax return season upon us.

Best,

Trans mount

Maybe this is why the mount was discounted. But when I purchased the ecs brace the website offered to bundle with the mount for a discount so I decided to get it because I was looking at them anyway. But when I received the mount it almost looks like it’s a used mount. You can see where washers left marks on the black finish and in some other places. Not a huge deal to me but since I keep receiving an email to rate it figured I would share

Amazing product and technical support

I bought coil overs for my c5 drift car and of equal importance was the technical support and discussion on spring rates that I was able to have with Brian. He moved quickly to get my product out the door, no time wasted. I’d go back to these guys over anyone else selling a similar product for the excellent customer experience.
