Dex, I've been thinking about getting some Do-Luck braces for my GS before or after I get my Turbo installed.. IMO the interior cross brace that you posted up is a must have esp if you went out and already have STB'S.. Because now you have front, middle and rear all supported.

Wouldn't the rear brace be in the way for the rear passengers or is this minimal?

It's bad enough having the rear strut bar cutting down the trunk space [looks cool, but a bit intrusive]. I can't imagine having a brace cut through the rear passenger area like that, even if the impact is primarily visual given it's low installation point. And it looks like it could be painful for any middle/rear passenger... :eek:

I seen that crossbar installed on a IS300 and it's really not in the way.. It lays on the floor therefore you can place your feet on floor without someone being uncomfortable...

My buddy has this in his Accord and for rear passengers, it is kind of a PITA...it's not "on the floor" so you can sit your feet even remotely flat...If you're going to do this, you might as well do a full rollcage...

this isn't something that i would ever do to my car. its just a little intrusive, even aesthetically. but if you don't carry passengers, which i never do, why not do it?
