Message	Flexing/compressing? I've seen these braces before but I agree that it does not extend very far on the Z32 and seems like it would not provide all that much additional rigidity based on the location. At least on the S14 it is running closer to the suspension mounting points where I feel it is going to introduce the most amount of stress on the body.
