These fender braces increased the rigidity for the front of the chassis and you will benefit for better turn in response. If you have suspension already then you might wanna get some swaybars to reduce body roll and you will notice quite a big difference with it.

The fender brace actually bolts on the place where the front part and the middle part of the frame jointed together. Race teams reinforced it with spot welding with reinforcement plates but we are not going that hardcore, to maintain the streetability, the fender brace will do the job . Cost less but still effective.

awesome.. thanks for the explanation
i found the nagisa auto gacchiri support at www.more-japan.com , and they show a bunch of pictures from the install.

i also found the A&J racing one, but the nagisa one looks wayyy beefier.

$380 doesnt seem too bad..just as long as it proves its purpose
