Name one thing they make that's worth the price they charge except their LSD's?

Wait sorry I correct myself, if you are not a die hard racer/drifter and don't want full on race mounts you can get the Nismo motor and transmission mounts set for about $40 cheaper than the OEM ones.

I am not getting your use of the word "useless". http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/uselessMaybe you mean: Expensive, Costly, or high priced.

Not necessarily worthless. The brace saved my tension rods when it iced over and I hit a curb. So it is good for protecting tension rods but other than that????

Sooooooo does this mean that the Stealth Fab brace is available for purchase here without going through the hassle of signing up elsewhere? The price is good, and it is too damn hot outside for me to do the required work of boxing in my brackets. Let me know.

The price of Nismo parts in general, not the power brace.

I like Nismo stuff. Parts are well made and strong or stiff over stocks ones. I'm sure JGTC racing scene also contributed R&D stuff for Nismo, but price is really stiff. Power brace is one of those 'Not so bad' price among Nismo parts.

I agree. It's pretty retarded that they want 60 bucks for a thermostat. And the power brace really does jack for steering response. Not worth the 150 from the suspension aspect but worth it for protecting aftermarket tension rods.

Actually, I think it does something on my vert. My steering feel improved a lot.
