Thanks for the good riddance peeps..
I got ahold of a used 16x7 40et set of BuddyClub P1 and at first wasn't a fan of white rims.... But after a couple of days with them on .... The look is growing onto me....

@elkaku I like how striking the white rims look!
Do they poke at the front a little?
What tire width are you running?

Stability and chassis rigidity.. Better turning by stiffening the rear end...

How's it any different than the Progress bar?

Wait, does Progress offer a rear chassis brace? I've got their sway bar, but I'm not seeing anything else for the Fit. The part we're looking at here is to triangulate/brace an open area on the body and make the whole car stiffer, not affect roll stiffness.

I don't think so.
I'm just wondering what's the benefit of this brace over the Progress bar?
Or is it just another added measure of improving structural rigidity?

Well benefit as @hasdrubal stated is to stiffen the chassis... Yes the progress bar would maybe help even more... But finding THIS particular part being OEM and being a standard item on the RS model on Europe and Asia.... And not having those models over here it seemed like good buy costing around 70 usd and having to make NO modifications to anything....

i didn't know this was available . i'm a firm believer in chassis braces , they go a long way towards stability and just plain
classing up the ride . i've got some pieces on my GK front and back from ultra racing , megan racing , beatrush and tanabe .
definitely increases roll stiffness and sharpens the steering . just found it on Ebay , going to order one .

Speaking about Suspension…

This is a must have mod for the GK rear suspension! Just got it all bolted up and torqued using Loctite 242 around the Progress RSB.

Well, per Silentone in the other thread, it doesn't do anything but look cool. To be fair, it does look cool.
