try to describe it plz, how does it feel in turns, on the harsh roads with the potholes?

and did it change the ground clearance (i live in a VERY snowy country)?

ground clearance is a non issue. It may lower it.. but very very slightly. It wont be an issue. Especially since your not lowered.

Ride quality is stiffer. Cornering is flatter. Chassis is stiffened up. High speed turns feel more composed.

Its great! This is a great option for us X's... since we dont benefit from aftermarket sway bars. Add a strut bar to your ride as well. That improves your steering response and cornering as well.

So the 6 point brace makes a night and day difference?

I would say the 6pt alone is subtle. Do all the rear braces and it is more noticeable.

I didn't notice a difference with the stock tunnel brace removed so I wouldn't expect a huge difference with the GTSpec tunnel brace. Are the rear braces much more noticeable?

I would do the rear lower tie, rear "m", and 6 pt braces and call it a day.

I only have the rear lower tie and 6 pt brace without the M brace (cuz it didnt clear my stillen exhaust properly) and I found the difference significant.

The X has an entirely different front subframe. Front sway bars and front braces (except for a front strut bar) for the RWD car will not fit.

Did you not read the other posts? The 6 point brace and the rear subframe braces will fit the X.
