Default Gspec lower front brace Weird but Good Side Effect

I've had my Lower front arm brace for 3 weeks now and at besides adding a lot of extra control to the front end during cornering I've noticed the weirdest side effect is it dampens the ride , like a lot. I got a CAI and a Free flow Exhuast and before i could totally feel the engine while driving but after adding the lower brace it like softened the ride sooo much that I thought something was wrong. Curious to know if anyone else has experienced this.

btw i got a Progress tech rear sway, a FX front Strut tie and 17" 205 wheels plus the Gspec Lower Front Brace but stock struts and springs.

I'll get back to you guys on this my APR lower brace is on it's way from LA. There is another item that does a similar thing, the Weapon R Damper, although to side effect is that the engine vibration is transfered inside the cab, kinda minimal and only really felt at idle.
