For those that have one, do you feel a huge difference before and after? Do you feel it is worth the cost? Does the skid plate accommodate it or does the skid plate have to be removed permanently? Any pics of it installed?
Thanky thanky.

Get the F-Sport RSB first, there is something that you will definitely feel. The brace would probably make the car flex less in extreme conditions.. something you aren't likely to do unless you track your car regularly ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I'd be willing to bet money you'd see a 0.00 second difference with/without the chassis brace on a track on any sort of street legal tires.
Possibly, after you've done every single other possible suspension mod, including much-stickier-than-you'd-run-on-the-street tires, that you'd get a (very tiny) measurable improvement with the brace.
Outside of that it might "feel" a bit different with it, but it won't actually improve handling...and yeah I'd suggest the sway bar about 1000 times sooner than the brace.

Chassis idea ditched, thank you all.
Sway bars...do you suggest both front and rear or just rear only? Keep in mind this car at this point only has the sport suspension that came from the factory.
