Does anyone have the "Tom's Rear Lower Chassis Brace" and is it worth the money?

I need your help

I've had the Tom's lower chassis brace on for a few months; it's also been discussed on a number of threads as well:

Link 1

Link 2 (think it's mentioned in here)

Link 3

IMO - It helps some, but doesn't make the difference that upgrading sways or even putting on an aftermarket front chassis brace. Overall, the car feels a bit more 'planted' in the rear and less likely to swing. I put on the Tom's six-link a couple of weeks later and think it's a better improvement.

Make sure you get the right kind of rear brace (discussed also on links above). The closed kind only fits with Tom's/Advox and similar exhausts. Since I have Borla, my Tom's rear LCB is the open variety.

I got the Tom's Rear brace and I would say that it is worth the money. I mean, it's not a "night and day" change like when you get the TRD sway bars put on, but they do tighten up the rear end in hard turns. The rear doesnt feel like its gonna go off and do its own things now. The brace did make the car a little more rigid and stiff, but I rather have good handling than comfort.
