If its the front brace (Cuscos version of the X-brace). I noticed more steering feedback than without it.

If you are talking about the floor bar (goes down both sides of the car, and under the front). After mounting it I noticed the chassis was a lot stiffer, and weight transfer seems to be quicker and easier to tell exactly where the weight is going.

I have the U brace, after I installed it I didn't feel much difference at all except bumpy roads were a LITTLE smoother (or atleast the car felt more planted).

I only paid like 70 bucks used for it, so whatever

I hope to put the u shape Type II in this Saturday and the Chassis brace (don the side and across the middle) too. I will let you know my results.

update: well maybe i haven't gotten used to my s yet, but it feels so stiff in really tight turns. what i got out of the cusco was less body roll and smaller steering ratio, which was really akward and hard to get used to blazing through turns. actualy it was so akward i realized ive gone through turns faster in other cars. but then again my haven't driven it enough to see its limit. ps im not a fan of the yokohama es100s.

i have cusco front "u" brace and the floor bars. definitely stiffer, flatter through turns, turn in is quicker, and smoother through bumps. if your suspension and tires suck, you'll really notice if you do.
