my 2013 has a factory brace, just a 2 point.

I think we GE owners need rear bracing moreso then front bracing!

Good find though.

Im most excited because of the price, having Beatrush imported into the US this would have cost around $300 for Kamispeed.

As for Solo 2 STF rules there isn't much you can do in terms of bracing.

Hey De,
Nice find. That is a nice looking piece actually best looking one I've seen yet.
I actually fabricated mine based off of the 1st ultra racing brace design.
Actually was very noticeable in terms of steering response and predictability at the limit. comparable to the difference the progress rear sway bar brings to the rear.

I finished autoxing a few hours ago with the braces. And it was a night and day difference. Steering responds was amazing. It gave me a lot of confidence in the front end and was very predictable. On my last run it started raining and I ran my fastest lap.

Beatrush makes quality products, it's worth the extra $$.

Good find though.

If the "brace" your referring to is the same as the 2009 -2012 the it is nor a brace at all its a bar to protect you lower cat.
If you actually look at it and feel it you understand it provides not structural support. Especially with 2 mount points (round tube flattened at ends with a holes for bolt) two bends in it and offset from mounts.
Also if you removed the small bolts mounting it you would noticed one hole is oblong to allow for poor quality-control/variances which negates any bracing property it would have. Also it mounts on the body not on the suspension mounting points like this brace so would not add any of the steering benefits like this brace.

That is of course unless they changed the design.

it mounts to the body. I didnt notice an oval or oblong hole at all when I removed it to install my WeaponR piping
