Yeah me too. Frank from DSS is working on re-designing the CF shaft to reduce weight. With the help of 3M he found out the original issue with mine so there won't be any glue failures in the future.

Question
I had a 11lbs braille battery in my last car (SRT4) it was fine in summer but when winter came it wouldnt last over night.. Braille did exchange free of charge for the 15lbs battery.. How is that battery holding up on Camaro? Does it get cold where you are?
The temps don't get cold-cold here like it does in NY; we get down to the low 40's maybe during winter. I've not had a single issue with the 15 lb battery so far. I thought about the 11 lb but decided 4 lbs of weight wasn't going to make any noticeable difference; mine is a street car, not a full-out race car. I almost went with the 21 lb originally but after studying the specs decided I'd give the 15 a try and so far it's worked out great.
