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

right now when i hit 80mph, my rear end starts getting unstable, will this help settle down the rear end at speed?

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.
