Anyone used the 4 point from TB Performance?

I miss my Pierce 6 point a lot. I can’t run one due to aero restrictions. Currently I have the TB traction bar and cross member braces and they definitely have more flex than the Pierce 6 point. Their “torque gusset traction bar” appears as if it’ll stiffen up the flex similar to the Pierce but I figured I post and see if anyone has real-world experience with it. Link:

Why not the swave 4 point? i have one and its great doesn't restrict access to working on stuff like some of the others

Second the Swave. It’s a better made piece with lighter, stiffer section aluminum tubes, has a lower profile - better ground clearance by almost an inch vs the Pierce/TB, only $50 more.

I’m not a fan of most of TB’s designs with thin box tube and extra diagonals in places that are not actually useful. The only piece in my opinion they do well is the trunk brace

Price mainly. To replace the TB braces with both Swaves it’s like $700. I’d love to though.

If am understanding what you have right now (TB 2-point bar plus crossmember brace), I’d start by just replacing the 2-point bar with the 4-point Swave

People seem to love the Swave. Anyone used the TB four point? $50 is lunch at Chic Fil A. I get it though. TB braces aren’t very good. I’ll pick up a Swave and swap the last Tb brace later

I bought the 4 point and never installed it because it felt weak. Will the pierce 4 point fit with your aero?

Nope. Unfortunately it won’t. The Swave stuff should be plenty rigid given they’re aluminum. Thanks for the reply regarding the TB brace. I’d like to support the guy but his braces have too much flex due to the materials he uses.

He sold the business so I feel less compelled to buy from them
