Received mine before the weekend and installed it on Sunday.

Although i was a little sceptical about the benefits of the rear brace, the car now tracks better and feels a little stiffer

haha - what's crazy is i only started feeling this AFTER i took my huge 13w7 subwoofer and box out of the trunk.

i guess that's a handling mod.

but seriously - i'd buy it if the brace was cheaper. the lowest i could find was $159 or something.
