Default GTspec V-brace for ISF

Anyone installed one these on their ISF?
I found several is350 members loving it.

Just wondering if anyone from our community has one.
Any noticable difference in the handling and ride quality?

I used similar braces before on my Eclipse during my DSM years.
It was a huge improvement, I felt the car was much more nimble
and just the overall feel was awesome. With ISF being a high performance car not sure if the brace provides any benefit.
I read about for example, the strut tower brace being just a visual enhancement
with really no change to handling. Wanted to see if the same goes for the V-brace
setups.

Any informed feedback is appreciated.

I have custom rear subframe braces off a guy on Seattle Craigslist, he put some good development time into them as well.

What are your thoughts about the brace?

It is more rigid than the stock ones, doesn't allow reinstallation of the plastic airguides that go in front on the rlca. For the money ($120) worth it, if you want anodized blue it's alil more. Gtspec brace has one more mounting point so maybe it provides more rigidity?
