Default Torque Braces?

Hey I just recently saw a video of an rx7 with an engine torque brace. I was wondering if any of you honda/acura guys use them or even seen them for the honda/acuras? Is this a cheaper way to reduce the flex than mounts at all?

Its a bar or something that resembles a bar that attaches to the engine and some part of the chassis. You know how when you rev your engine, the engine moves? Well when you put the bar in, it reduces the amount of movement your engine moves when you rev it. I suck at explaining this so here is a video of it.

A&J Racing sells both the Alex and J's units. They work, but hardly justified for the cost. There was a thread on these last week..

I think all that is going to result in that brace is a hard ride in your car cuz the **** would be shaking. Its not going to put dowm more power, its just gonna put more stress on your axles and other parts because there is no give at all.
