You won't notice a big difference with the addition of a brace across the front suspension tower. Some difference is noticeable, just not much. Good to hear the braces you've fitted so far are working so well.

Are these the ones that come standard on the NA8's?

Just the listing stops at like '93 or something?

Yeah, NA8 had the seatbelt tower brace, & it's a worthwhile addition to an NA6, unless you're going to add a rollbar at some stage.
