Has anyone ordered one of these rear chassis brace? How’s the install process? Did you have to remove a lot of the interior trim pieces? How’s the fit and finish of the brace?

I’ve got one, ordered Raw and just primered/spray canned once received. I could have painted better but oh well, project for another day.

install pretty straight forward, just have to remove basically all trunk plastics/carpets. 2-3 hour job going slow with breaks? You do have to cut a hole in the carpet if I recall for a clean look and you need a hand riveter (if you don’t have one already)

FYI is if you keep the trunk floor, you will need to unbolt in order to access battery. I think I swapped bolts to a m8 10/12mm head from what they were shipping two years ago.

noticeable difference driving? I think so, to some extent, a flattened/more predictable back end breaking point if going sideways. Could be all in my head though

can you confirm where the 4 bolts attach to the chassis? From what I can tell, it doesn’t look like it bolts to the shock towers.

It bolts to places where the chasis have 10 mm threaded screw holes. The shock towers are behind that.
I’m sure it provides a little bit of rigidity to the rear, but I don’t know if that fully translates into something a regular driver (non professional or at least a very experienced track day person) could feel or benefit from.

Bottom bits look like they bolt down to the already threaded holes that are there. Which are for the trunk net clips that are offered in other markets than NA.

So you’re telling me a titanium trunk net > fancy K brace?

We have those here

I just tried to place an order for one in raw titanium. It says that they are not shipping to my location at the moment

I sent them an e-mail for confirmation.

Is there anything in the states that sells something similar to this. I decided against getting a roll bar set up and wanted something that allowed me to utilize the trunk cover and give me a place to mount remote reservoirs for the rear coilovers.

Edit: They reached out and it was just an issue with their system that they are trying to resolve. Seems like it's fixed now.
