Sorry for posting an ebay link, but I've never seen such a thing before. This is a rear brace that apparently goes on the floor behind the front seats.

Don't waste your money. This will do absolutely nothing.

I wouldn't say "nothing"... it'll at least add bling! (if red's your color)

I've never seen such a thing either...

Why would you say, "nothing"? They say, "The overall suspension and handling will increase by 15%. This product is used by all professional drift racers."

So, if ALL professional drift racers use it, it must be good.

Complete bogus. Without joining shock towers this is in the category of the rear brace. More over, that area between the seats is plenty rigid. The metal has many strong bends for the sides, the fuel tank, and the center console/exhaust hump.
