Unfortunately, I cant find any pictures of the brace. All I can tell you is what you will find in the first few sites youll find if you google search the brace. Braineak is right- babys got one that you can read a short blurb on if you go to keith's personal website. its a longitudinal brace on the rear end that limits the amount of squat youll get under acceleration and braking. I can neither find out where to buy one, nor can i find a picture through google. If any of you find one, please post. This sounds like a good brace.

due to the lack of any information I'd say it doesn't sound like a good brace.
All it does is connect the forward mounting points for the lower control arm on the rear suspension to the floorpan. From the little searching I did, it sounds like the dude was simply buying metal rods at Lowes and welding them up. He also stopped making the things about 10 years ago.

Im not going to buy one, just interested in what the heck the thing is. It sounded a bit unique. But- as Braineak stated, if there is this huge lack of data or buyers, its gotta be for a reason.

It's team FLATspot. that made searching for it a bit easier. Couldn't find any pictures but it sounds like the factory subframe bracing for 94+ cars.
in the installation notes Keith posted, it sounds like it is just drilled and bolted to the floorpan without additional reinforcement which sounds like a bad idea. the 94+ had a reinforcement peice there to take the strain which was made available through MMD for 90-93 cars. it has to be welded in.
