I have one and noticed a big difference when I put it on. Bought it off of somebody used for $75 (I think)but it looked brand new - not sure what brand. I think you should go for it.

Just put on a BBK about a week ago and it seems to keep the front end together in turns. The bolt are kind of hard to install on the strut towers if the wheels are on.

I was reading up on some stuff and one day found some info on the results of a brace. It knocked a few tenths in the slalom having one on the front. I have one, it was a triangle one. I had to cut the back part of, making it a single cross bar because if got in the way of my Caster Camber Plates.I couldnt tell any difference using a single bar.
