I have the GT Spec the others weren't in production when i bought mine. It works great and it really helps the front end out.

I bought the ebay one for $61 shipped, the seller said it is a Megan Racing one. He has some more of them, I'll let you know how it looks.

Unless doing serious auto crossing stick with just a strut bar and rear swaybar for the street.

TheJonas53

I have been autoxing mine. This is something I need to look into.

Spiderbox

i have the c-one frame brace, it looks similar to that. even more noticeable handling improvement than the rear sway bar.

Let us know how the install goes.

I Auto-X ALL the time!!! I LOVE THAT $HIT!! If anybody hear loves to do the same get every single chassis brace you can get on the market. It feels real good when you catch up to an STi in the corners. Even though they pull away at the very second you hit the track-out point, but never the less its fun going bumper to bumper in the corners.

Can you feel a real difference in they way the car handles? I built one for my last car and it went from sloppy and unpredictable to a rail riding go-cart.

JSosa

I wouldn't exactly call our cars sloppy from the showroom floor, but YES it helps ALOT!!! Anybody that disagrees with me, either doesn't race or doesn't have the bar. My car rides like it on rails, ask anybody else that have the same exact parts as i do and they will agree.

XBMutha

Sweet maybe I will try and make one soon.

i have the cusco one. it definitely improves handling through hard cornering.

proctorsilex

i have the tanabe up front. it is a nicely designed brace and the instructions say to maintain the stock braces whcih i had to beat back into shape as i had bottomed out a few times.

i have been wanting to get a rear brace, but i not sure about the $200 price :/

I just added the GT spec to my Xa. The chassis is extremly stiff now it makes a huge difference in the cars handling.Just be prepaired for a very stiff ride. But it's worth it. Im totally amazed by the cars conering ability. In addition to the GT Spec I've added a Progress rear sway bar, Tein S springs,Kumho Ecsta SPT tires,DC Sports Strut Bar. With my on board Beltronics FX-2 accelerometer I have recorded .95g lateral acceletration , and the car still felt firmly planted. I have no doubt that my Scion can pull over a 1 G . With these modes the Scion is the best handeling car I've ever owned. I can't afford a Lotus Exige but this is the next best thing.

evosky

^^^ so everyone else removed the stock side bars as well, right ? just wanting to confirm that i removed something that was supposed to be removed when installing the brace ... haha

GForce

Does anyone have a rear ladder brace installeds on there Xa. If so does it improve the handling? Thanks, Robert

jct

i have the trd rear lower brace, i don't push my car that hard but if i do i know it'll be there for me when i need it

that piece is a tad bit hard to find

when i got mine the dude was having a blow out sale on it for a good price
