Default H-Brace on EBay

I ordered one of those $70.00 lower front H-Braces from EBay. Installed it today, it went on the car with no problems, fit perfectly. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I think it made a difference.

Here is a link to a number of GS items. As luck would have it, the seller I purchased from (motor_ware) doesn't have anything else for sale right now.

Here's the latest listing. Getting photos of the one I installed isn't possible right now. I am still astounded at the difference it made. I have to wonder if adding the shock tower braces help as much. Do the front braces allow use of the engine cover?
Thanks
Bill

Scroll down on this link, as it's a photo of the TRD link. The one I bought is pretty much the same item and goes in the same place. There is a stock one on the car now that's made of stamped steel and steel tubing that the aluminum one replaces. The difference in the car with the new brace is surprising.

Does this brace affect the ride quality at all? The car feel like its cornering flatter?

I really didn’t expect much when installing this brace due to the fact that it replaces a stock one on the car now. I was very surprised at the difference it made in front end rigidity. Someone did their homework on the H-Brace, it’s a worthwhile investment. I didn't notice any affect on ride quality, the car corners better and feels more solid at even moderate speeds.
