I have the M but haven't installed it yet. I don't think it'll cause any problems with the Invidia, which i also have (sedan.)

I also have the 6-pt, which is pretty noticeable, so much so i take it off for DD.

Also, FYI.

This is c/o Mark at GT Spec:

1. Rear M Shape Brace + Rear 2 Point Tie Brace
This will be the first 2 brace to get. These two braces tie the lateral arm and control arm together. These two braces act almost like a sway bar. We have tested the same braces on 350Z and the most effective brace so far.

2. Rear 6 point subframe brace
Because it's a bit pricey, that's why I list this brace as #2. If budget allow, this brace is a great addition. The brace link the rear subframe to the chassis. It added three extra reinforcement points per side. It's a 5 piece kit thus a higher price than rest of the braces.

3. Fender Brace
Fender brace ties the front engine compartment to your mid chassis. Known to be used on many track car, it provided extra reinforcement for the front of your car.

4. Front subframe tie brace 2/4 point.
I list this lower than the rest mainly because the front subframe are already very stiff. These two braces reinforce the existing mounting points. It still provide added reinforcement but not as much advantage compare to the rest of the braces.

5. Front subframe left + right tie brace
This brace is the last on the list because it's a significantly smaller brace compare to the rest. However, it does added two extra reinforcement points to the front subframe, but compare to the rest of the braces that's available, this brace has less effect.

^agree with 1 above. Rear feels solid after installing this brace, one of the better if not best braces to add. Unfortunately this didn't work with my Arqray system so I had to remove it. But it's on deck if I ever swap my exhaust out. I believe the Arqray system and Invidia are similar in how they plumb into the cans. So there may be issues with this brace and the Gemini. Hope this helps a little.
