From what I remember there made out aluminum and they reduce the fenders from flex as much under heavy torquing. Marche and Jspeed also make verisons place couple other handful of companies.

I think AJ_PwR will give you a better answer as far as the handling improvement is concerned.

I have sent this thread to him and hopefully he will respond.

Handling wise it only makes front stiff thus making the car less likely to go where you point it. It helps when your using mod's that generate a great deal of power.
In Japan when parts like this is used to kill any weight gained from this they use fenders made out fibre glass or carbon fibre..same with boot.

I have this in my EK. With this brace you will notice better turn in during low-mid speed turns.

These bars are made out of chromoly steel cuz aluminum won't hold as well.

I will highly suggest this braces cuz they reinfored the chassis and noticeable difference

The braces can really on helps in starts and when exiting turns. Sus, strut bars, sway bars and adj toe and adj lower arms..can help directing your car into turns.

Steel is ok but when your under 280whp there is not much reason to take weight of the steel over lighter verison which can be sheeted with kevlar/carbon to make them just as strong as steel ones if needed later. Though only folks I know with 280 whp has been mostly Turbo ITR's and ITR's with 50 shot of nitro. Though sometimes to me the best way to kill flex in the body is to seam well everything and brace all weak points and use 8-14 point roll cage if your going all out.
