Hi, does anyone know if there is another vendor that makes tubular trailing arm braces like the ones hotchkis does but cheaper?

Hotchkis braces, $121 from Summit.
Edelbrock makes then also, but only a little cheaper ($100 from Summit)...
I think the Hotchkis braces "look" sturdier, but not sure if it is significant and they can cause clearance problems with mufflers... If they clear the exhaust, thats the way I'd go...

I made my own not, that hard if you are confident in your welding.

I also made my own. Mine are much sturdier than the aftermarket ones considering what I used to make them smile.gif . All you need is some flat stock and a piece of solid tube or hollow tube, whatever preference you have graemlins/thumbsup.gif .
