yeah they will help. they reduce body roll so your turns will be easier. BUT a good set of tires and rims will also help you out.

I would do suspension or even try a thicker rear sway bar first.

I think that c-one makes a bracing system for the rear of the xA. At least I think it's c-one. The thing costs around $400 though.

You're think of the rear under brace which is $373, the front one is about $20 more than the GT Spec which is $143. Personally I would get the C-One set because it's JDM and I am one big JDM ***** and C-One is one of Japan's Premiere tuners for Toyota's next to Tom's. If you have the money though and interested www.bulletproofautomotive.com can take of that for you

....the beatrush underbrace is $8 bucks more than the c-one and that two piece set...hmmm, the front brace isnt welded?...that middle brace looks like it doesnt do crap either, the rear brace from c-one does way more

i must have misunderstood i though you said above that the c-one rear under brace was $373 basically the same part as the beatrush one for $171......and blue stated that it was even more than that .....i personally would just go with beatrush...JDM quality & more money in my pocket to boot plus seeing as its silver powdercoated it would go perfectly with my ride

I have the JiC frame brace and I love it. I just have to watch where I drive because it sits really low to the ground, and I have a 2inch drop.

i have both JIC 2 point and 4 point under braces on mine along w/ the JIC tower bar. i've noticed a difference only sucky part is that my 4 point brace gets stuck on speed bumps sometimes.
