Question Aftermarket Tunnel Brace necessary???

Whats the deal on these tubular tunnel braces I see available. Are they a worthwhile upgrade for a 400rwhp street car or just a waste of money. Thanks for your input.

Nah, waste of $$$. Almost every1 i heard who has them complain that they scrape nearly everything they go over including speed bumps.

In reality a waste of $$$ But they do tie into the SFCs in my case anyway. Mine are custom made so they all match. The rightside is the only part that hits on speed bumps no matter what speed Im going. The fact my cars lowerd 1.5 inches doesnt help

I've been running without one entirely for years... You'd be pretty hard pressed to convince me that's an area that needs bracing anyway.
