I can't remember but has anyone tested the under car brace? Is it worth installing?

cool!

Come on guys, anyone who wants to improve the handling of their car needs to jump in on this, $100 - $120 is a sweet price, look at how much the GT spec brace costs and you'll see. We need MoAr peeps..

Doing rough measurements, I think they even fit the FX. Haven't heard back on the preliminary tests though.

Well after I received no feedback on my question, I didn't get a warm & fuzzy

I know folks who have used the gt spec brace said they like it a lot, firmed up the car, yadda yadda. i figure this should be teh same, since the concept of connecting two points with a chunk of metal to stiffen things up isn't too complex, so it should have similar results, no?

I can't really give a quantitative answer to weather or not this is worth installing, as everyone's perception of value is different.

I'm trying to remain objective instead of saying "oh totally worth it brah, it made my car faster and I can take turns at 200mph...buy two for twice the fun" or something to that effect.

With that being said...any reinforcement bar will assist in increasing rigidity of the object it's attached to.

There is no such thing as a chassis being too rigid or too stiff, or having too much support...

Hey Will, I'd be interested as well especially if it's going to be priced better than the GT Specs...I noticed "some" improvement with the front/rear tie bars so the midbar would the icing on the cake. Question though, would this go between the chassis and the midpipe or would it actually protect the midpipe as well?
