Default X-brace

Looking into an X brace. How many of you have one? Does it make that much of a handling difference? What is the best one? Any downside to having one?

Thanks in advance.

I have read it is a major handling difference and extra protection for the oil pan

Not sure as to which one is best

I have the Muz brace. I noticed how it tightened up the car the second I drove out of the driveway with it installed. Great mod. I know the Muz brace still leaves easy access to the oil drain. Not sure how the other braces are, but I've read that some block the drain.

I have the MUZ brace and love it.

I did tell a difference after puting it on. And it works great if you change your own oil, cause it does not block the drain plug, like all the others do.

I use Rick's... if you have the Fumoto oil drain valve, it clears the brace.

Ditto. Love it and never had any problems related to it.
