The Rear brace is there for reasons, it may be a 5mph protection but 5mph is pretty big deal with 3K lbs behind it. The thought of not running one would result in a insurance company dening a claim as where at least there was one there for protection.

This is a great piece! I've had one on my car for almost 5 years now and its holding up well. The bottom shroud he includes with it is a nice touch to stop the bottom bumper from parachuting.
Oh and almost forgot to mention...probably about a year ago I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and I was bumped by a guy in a 1/2 ton pickup. I was barely moving i.e under 5mph and thankfully was in neutral at the time so the impact wasnt very hard but lurched me forward. The guys truck left a tiny mark in my bumper cover from his license plate screw and if you look closely you can see the cover made contact with the bumper beam as there are very subtle imperfections on the corners now; you'd have to look for it to see it.
But the point to my story is that the beam saved my *** and eva's for that matter
best rear bumper beam on the market IMO and saves something like 8# which is on the rear so meh but still.

I ordered one from him last year and has been on my car since February. Fitment is spot on. I was not aware of this thread so I found him through this link.

Very good to know, I think i'll take it! I gave him a call and he said that there has been an influx of orders lately and that they should be done by the end of the month. Seems like a polite and professional individual. Glad to know someone out there has addressed the parachuting issue of the jdm rears.
