Rook Industries M-Brace for the FIT!

Well it looks like we have someone else who is willing to make something for our Fit. I met Andrew and Jake at Import Alliance back in April. They own and run Rook Industries. I got to see their work in person and it looks great. So after some talking, the wife and I are working with them to make an M-brace for our Fit. I do believe they are talking about making them for both the GD and the GE. Anyway I wanted to know if anyone else is interested.

Here's the problem: they need a test car that they can keep for approximately 3 days to do some measurements and maybe some test fitting. The wife and I are in SW Florida. We are hoping for someone near Nashville, TN to volunteer.

They have made the M-brace, as well as some front strut bars, for the DA, DC, EG, and EK. I've posted some links to the products so you can see what they can do, until I get pics from Andrew. I'll have some more info soon, such as how much and when it will be ready and so on.

If you decide to contact them directly, tell'em Jean (my wife) from the FitFreaks referred you. She's been working with Andrew for a few days now.

UP-DATE


OK, I just got an e-mail from Andrew, And he gave me the prices for the M-brace which is $499 +shipping but if we can get at lease 5 people to order it then it will drop down to $449 + shipping, If you want in then please post or PM me and I'll get a list started.



HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THEIR WORK

They have an interesting take on how their bracing works. I think the price is pretty reasonable for a small volume product. Interested for GE8.

didn't mr spoon or someone say that the fit was great because it was stiff on the bottom and loose on the top? doesn't this defeat that purpose?

Not really sure I haven't added an strut bars or braces to my car, nor have i've driven a fit with strut bars in it. But a believe I did read post that after adding an upper strut bar it did help or feel better. I hope that make a little better cents solbrothers.
