Good Job on the Mod! Nice and cheap is always a nice thing. To get a better feedback we should find a drifter and see if they can follow up with a reply.

i had the JIC strut bar before, with it, i tend to understeer, and with it off i can oversteer just enough. i personally like how my car acts better with out the strut bar. my cars purpose is to drift. so maybe if your actually grip racing you can favor the strut bar

We are sure this brace will work for our cars... its not expensive, but I just don't want a piece of metal laying in the garage either.

I hate to say it, but it looks like a $25 strut bar, something from a Honda. Obviously, form follows function but I would never put that on my car for appearance alone.
