Honestly, i am in love with the feel of this car at the track right now with this setup. i did enjoy my car on kws and re71r at the track but once i ran all this bracing ( have run this bracing for well over a year now), the car just feels so planted through back to back corners and is so predictable on corner entry and exit. The combination of the bracing/the kws/ the tires just really makes the car feel way more stable and.. it feels and corners like a lighter car if that makes sense. Before you mock me for this sentence, Yes i know bracing makes my car heavier lol

I can see now why and how they would make that much of a difference.

Did you install all at once? Which set do you feel made the most impact?

Tbh i feel they all work well together and i probably wouldnt do some and skip the others. Bracing is cheap considering other mod prices for our car. Just do them all man lol There is one more set of braces i want and dont have yet, The fender bracing (which im told does help a lot)

i did have Fast intentions HF cats installed this year and clearance is good, though the resonated Fast Intentions High Flow cats may rub on the front M brace. The resonators are on the bottom and pretty bulky so thats something to think about.

he’s a race driver on the track and doesn’t want people to see/know his set up.

do it! It’s a great upgrade for the price.

Soul function, and there is one other brand, but I forget the name, make them.

You should do a few together so you really get the benefits of them. Some are a little more complicated to put on than others, but anyone with a jack and some basic tools can figure them out.

I wasn’t sure how they worked and thought they just added weight, but now that I have them, trust me, they make a difference if you are into corners and suspension.

I see I see.

I really only care about handling on this car. There is plenty of power for me on the track.

Yeah I’m thinking of the following soul braces

- Front M brace(under the cats)
- Mid 4 point trans tunnel
- Fender braces
- Rear tie bar
- Rear lower “M” brace

- Maybe the 2 front subframe lateral braces

The rear 6 point looks great too but isn’t available currently. The Front D brace on the sub frame looks like it goes directly underneath the front jacking point.

How is ground clearance for you guys soo far?
My cars not super low but I have to imagine the bracing reduces ground clearance by at least 1.5” just by looking at the pictures.

just know the mid brace is for sedan only. I made the mistake of almost ordering it when I’m a coupe driver because I was excited and speed reading.

that sounds like a good group of them to go with.

I really liked the rear M brace and tie bar after I did those together.

No issue for me on the Sedan fitment as that’s what I have but good looking out, I appreciate it!

Have you made it out to any of the SoCal tracks yet?

Sorry man, i literally only made this post because i couldn't send fallen a pic of the bracing on my car via inbox messages lol.l

You and @fallenblade have me about ready to spend some money on bracing.
honestly, they are cheap and they make the G feel more nimble. As an x honda guy, you would probably love it!

Ps: im Not a race driver/wheel to wheeler. I just love driving at tracks! Just noticed this now lol.

roll cage and harnesses are currently going in the car. (Very excited and can’t wait to get it back.)

Once those are in I will upgrade brakes, tires, and oil cooler and then it’s off to the track.

@2.2Lude by the way @4DRZ has run his 4door g37 at the track a lot, has a lot of experience. He loves handling and that car was setup nice too. (He sold it recently but he still is on the forum). He's a great person to ask for any sedan track related questions or any bumps you run into a long the way.
