NICE!!! Gonna pick up 1 set for my wrx. It should work every well for the track. Plus the weight reduction won't hurt either.

Is there any way to get the splash guard to fit back on? During winter time I wouldn't want to have all the salt and slush sprayed up into my engine bay. I like the brace and can see why it would be so effective but the splash guard in my mind is a necessity.

with zip tie or longer bolt, you might be able to put it back on. Or you can take it off in the winter. with the jack stand, it took us 1 hours to 2 hours for to take off the subframe and install the new 14 points subframe.

The GD subframes will bolt up under a GC body. I will be running the subframes and suspension links from a GD.

I think it's $225 retail price. You should be able to get it for $199 once it is released.

12.5 lbs savings. Not sure if I like this more than the do-luck but at least they made a really nice piece.
