Default Under carrage brace

What is this brace that goes undr the car? Does anyone have a pic with it on the car? What is your opinion of it? Is it worth it? Where do you get them?

Here's a link at Mid America http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=3.3727 I've heard it works very well. As it says it lowers your ground clearance 1 inch so you have to take that into consideration as well especially if you have plans on lowering your car. I want to lower mine so I'm not sure if I'm going to try it or not.

That's the Cross Frame from www.r-dracing.com. I have it on my 96', it realy helps stiffen the car up, a lot less flex. Get R-D's phone number off their site and talk to Dave, they are a Forum sponsor and cut us a little price break. Tell Dave I sent you.

Yes, I lowered mine and have the Cross Frame, not really a problem. It will drag over some speed bumps, I scrape it pulling into my garage, but the Cross Frame is built tuff, real tuff. It can handle almost anything you throw at it.
