Wow, very cool brace, the obvious question, any noticeable difference?

I only had time for a short test drive after installation. But in that time the car definitely felt more planted, but I'm thinking the swift springs are the major factor here. I will say the installation of the chassis brace is more entailed than your traditional strut brace. I'll attach a pic of the installation instructions provided by RR Racing later today

Yeah I see that RR Racing did take the time to design the chassis brace for RCF to do just that

It's really hard to beat a triangulated tower brace. I have toyed with buying the RC F mount to see how hard it would be to install in the IS platform. It looks like it might just straight install in the GS F, but it would take some effort. The GS F does not have both studs projecting from the firewall as the RC F does.

Yeah I remember having better options on my previous car for engine bay bracing

RR Racing chassis brace installation instructions.

I had no issues with AC lines during install, however my strut bolts did prove to be long and difficult to install the chassis brace without jacking up car. I replaced the front springs at the same time, so this made installation of the chassis brace pretty straight forward. I also spoke with another F owner who was able leave engine cover intact without any modifications. I opted to leave mine off
