Going to give the feeler head count to the vendor this evening, and report official group buy pricing hopefully by tomorrow. Please add yourself to the list if you're interested for a stronger showing. Again, this is not a commitment to purchase. Thanks.

So we need not worry whatsoever unless we have aftermarket suspension?

Any ways I would not worry about the nuts since they don't cost much and the product is one of the best quality out there.

The big issue i have with the ss braces is that they talk about strength and materials, and then they put holes in it...which kinda defeats the purpose

Sorry for the delay, but I have been negotiating back & forth with the vendor to get a better deal for y'all. The terms should be finalized and posted by this afternoon if all goes well.

The holes decrease weight without sacrificing the strength ("equate to stress concentrations") . google Arches (don't really know how to explain in better English) it uses kind the same principal.

(Dammmitty you are right, I did not know how to call it in english tho)

Is the group buy only for the complete set? If the firewall braces are not back-cut to collapse in case of an accident, then I will only be interested in the crossbar.

The several holes in the Strong-Strut FW braces allow them to collapse in a severe front end collision.
