Think of it as a low mounted strut tower brace-type, also called a Steering Brace. Wonder Bar is the name originally given to them.

For the most part, it helps to stabilize steering.

It sits under the 2 front sway bay mounts & ties the front ends of the Front Subframe.

A Strut Tower Brace holds the 2 strut towers apart, which is where a lot of your cornering force is directed, since they are just above where the springs press up, & a strong part of front wheel travel is controlled from.....The strut.

I'm a strong believer in them, as most people are, when they are the kind that enjoy hard handling, like an autocross course. Personally? I noticed an immediate difference, in "spirited" street driving, not just on an autocross course.

certainly neither of them can hurt your car at all lol. and yes they do look awesome. i think the best look is looking under a car and seeing brand new red components.
