What exactly does that brace do? Can you feel any difference?

It makes the chassis stiffer to reduce flex. The stock K Brace is just a bar. This is a complete plate with additional mounting points. I will take it out tomorrow and check it out. If it's like the strut tower brace I'll notice right away, but I'm not sure. I will be going to the Dragon Nov 3rd and VIR on the 9th, I'm sure I'll notice something then.

You know, that K Brace is such a subtle change that it's hard to explain. The car does feel a little more solid though.
