yes they work, stiffen the front up, its like a lower tie bar, the front of the h brace, with the circles bolt in to your front lca's and then the rear bolt into the frame by your cat

if you're going to get a H-brace don't get the one with the rear bar support. like this...

the second brace will more than likely hit your exhaust.

one like this will be fine.

strange... my second h-brace had that second bar, I had to remove it to even install the thing. my exhaust runs about 1 inch below the first bar, and right in between the points where the second bar was.

might be an EK/EG thing.

I have a few questions unrelated to the bar, so to prevent thread jacking, tuck’d98 you have IM
