There is a bad reputation going around on those rear lower subframe braces for our cars, but believe it or not, it does make a difference.. A lot of people dismiss it as useless without even doing much research into it. I will tell you though, the ebay style ones with the floppy ends are pure junk.. Only GT-SPEC makes a legit solid piece design from what know for that subframe brace.
What they do is assist in stiffening the weakest part of the subframe (rear) to lessen the distortion of the lower suspension arms, especially during corner exits while putting the power down.. If they were truly useless, then why did NISSAN decide to spend money by installing them on S15 Spec-R's? yeah that's right, S15 Spec-R's have rear lower tie bar/subframe brace (middle pic) from the factory as well as a trunk brace and a front ladder bar. Nissan deemed those parts of the chassis could use some extra strengthening/bracing, so that's more than a good enough reason for me to put them on my S13.
