Looks like the same thing as GTSpec's Rear Lower Lateral Reinforcement Brace (M Shape). You will notice some changes in high speed cornering: mostly you will loose some of your lateral rear wheel moment so you will get a little more oversteer and more concise rear alignment when loading down the rear. If you don't track the car or drive hard on twisty roads you most likely will not notice anything.

I do not have this product or the GTSpec version as I never wanted to risk it not clearing the larger exhaust I have, but I do have a different version of rear camber mount brace (as the mount points are pretty flimsy) and this is what I noticed.

Thanks for the help guys. I think the part comes today or tomorrow. My area has very twisty roads and highways. I will let you guys know how the handling changes.

Same here. If you already have coilovers and aftermarket sway bars, I'm skeptical how you'll notice this bar in a DD ripping around corners and on-ramps. People like 4DRZ might notice it on his car at the course track.

On my 6MT, the sways were a hell-yeah! mod, springs and CO's were a thats-nice mod, FSTB was a mildly thats-better mod in certain situations... but the Vert lower engine cradle braces were meh. Never noticed a thing.

What's the expectation on this Cusco bar? If anything, I'm thinking it will nudge things more predisposed to oversteer than otherwise.
