Not trying to be a dick or anything, but you both know that that piece is probably just for show? Right? The factory strut brace is comparable to the piece in question. While it won't thwart the handling of the car, it certainly won't do to help it along.

So, in a sense, GenitiX really didn't get screwed. That could just turn out to be a colossal waste of money.

if you talk about function i think its the same as comparing our OEM front strut bar with aftermarket one like Cusco or GTSPec.

They offer the exact same function/performance but what you "gain" is light weight. For a race car, every pound counts... that's what these parts are made for.

+1 Throwing the stock **** tires away transforms the car's handling.

This is true. However, I figure that the pound of weight saving really doesn't mean much on a daily driver. It certainly isn't worth however much they want for these parts, either.

I could have sworn that I saw strut brace somewhere. Oh well, so much for reading comprehension.
