Hi everyone, I have been wanting the TSW X brace for long time but $400 is a little bit pricey, recently I found this K-Brace online and wonder if anyone have experienced with it.

it is about $220 (cheaper than the original X brace), both using the same blot points but different in construction. x brace is welded and k-brace is blot down.
anyone using this K-brace?

thank you and happy motoring.

 

Another inexpensive option is this lower brace for $150.
