Installed my frame rail braces and front lower control arm brace over the xmas break and happy with my modifications. Car has considerably less body shudder over bumps now.

Still on the lookout for rear brace if anyone has one spare.

i really like the idea of the second picture from the third post of this thread. If it was available for an NA8 (see pic of PPF beatrush brace) I'd want it to be a very thick piece of metal but the big reason i like it is because it substitutes the lower arm brace - thereby giving nearly an inch of extra ground clearance.

This brace is the only thing stopping me from lowering my car more. Its the lowest point at the rear of the car between the chassis rails. the bthrush PPF frame looks to stick out lower by at least an inch and smack in the centre of the axel, which is exactly where i don't want the car lower..

Here's a pic of my Cusco rear brace. I have not dríven the car with out it on so can't comment on if it makes a difference or not. All I can say is that its nice and stiff.
