it looks just like the stock brace just renforced and painted!
i was thinking of welding some 10gauge metal and repainting it my self. it wouldnt cost $100+ for a name brand unit. i dont knoe it just an idea?

i got the nismo power brace and its bad ass. i could give you my stock brackets if you need some extra, theyre all fucked up tho. nismo piece is nice because its a PERFECT fit.

i would highly recommend the nismo brace, tein tie rods (inner and outer, sold seperately) and some tension rods. thats what i got and my steering seems 100% more responsive. ask sleepertec , he drove my car and noticed a big difference, my car was a lot easier to control in drifts and gives you more feel for the steering reaction. since these mods ,i want to do all new suspension soon. i love suspension mods

It's true.. I was very impressed.. But for the Nismo power brace, inner & outer tein tie rod ends, and a good set of pillow ball tension rods your looking at $500 + .. But.. it is worth every penny.. It makes stock feel like poo..

Oh and btw... You are on the right track with the DIY thing, my friend Lance " Guy that built my rear cage section" did one on an S13 only took him about 2 hours and it was badass. Dooo eeeeeet.
