Well, I got the STi-Style brace from JC yesterday and installed it last night. It’s a piece of cake, mostly, looks good and works well so far.
The STi-Style is the kind of brace that angles back and hugs the firewall to clear intercoolers. This one is shiny aluminum with red ends and is adjustable.
The hardest part is tightening up the adjusters, as it takes a large-ish hex wrench on one end. Once you have that, it’s a cinch.
Pics and a writeup will follow.
