track junkies, I have a question about front member power brace.
I have a quick question to all guys that track and Autocross their cars.
I Autocross my car during weekend and go to track occasionally. I haven't seen any reviews about the cusco brace other than "it looks good" or "it looks nice"
Now before I buy it, I wanted to ask the guys that have it and don't have it that track their car. Do you guys feel the difference or should I just stick to front crash beam?
Keep in mind that I want to keep the car for a VERY LONG time so I want it to feel the chassis as close to when I bought it.

I do not track my car... yet... still being built...
However I do have this brace... I bought it for a few reasons... A.)Its better then running no crash beam at all with my FMIC setup. B.) Technically makes my car legal running without a bumper(I do not do this, but the car doesn't get on the trailer without it) C.) aggressive look. D.) more stiffness.
Now this brace is adding extra bracing in the front, however being able to notice a difference, I could not when I had the car on the road for a limited time... I have many other braces, including an AutoPower cage so the car is extremely stiff and rigid already.
99.9% confident if I added this before my other braces I wouldn't notice a difference, but down to a science, yes, I'm sure it stiffens the chassis, maybe a little, maybe a lot.. but noticeable, no way.
sorry if this helps, otherwise just a rant
