i have the ones from turn in concepts, and they're great. worth the money as longas you dont buy expensive ones. i think mine were like 80 iirc. they make the front of the car more solid in turns for sure.

LD, which kind do you have? Id like to take a look at them to see if I can make some myself. Whether it be TiC style of a bar and 2 plates, or STi style CNC'd aluminum.

need to get some measurements if I could.

at my stage of the game, i would say the fender braces are more of a every little bit helps mod.

but i have installed them on a car with just springs, ALK, and strut bars, and it made a differance on turn in, as well as stiffening up the front end.
