I got this on the cheap from Ebay and slapped it on. I left that little plate from frame to subframe on for added support. I will be putting the rest of them on when I get them.

you may not notice anything when daily driving. however i know the ms3 chassis is pretty tight considering you can almost lift three tires off the ground if you choose the correct jack point in the front. i stiffened the lower points on a different car and noticed the car rotated much easier, but my baselines were taking when driving at the limits and on a track. if you get the upper strut braces in combination with the lower it will have an even greater effectiveness.

i got the same deal and waiting for it to arrive. I was told it was going to be orange. Oh well, I shall see when it arrives. Chassis stiffening is always goof for tracking the car, not so much drag racing or street driving. It will make a difference in the canyons though.
