fail. it's totally unproven, and those type of diffusers have no real windtunnel testing. its a placebo effect, really.

Function7

Yes, we offer the arms in both EP3 and DC5 bolt patterns (2 different arms, basically the same concept).

The main brace piece connects at 6 points -- the two arm pivots and the 4 sway bar holes. Yes, it only tightens up the rear -- the rear frame was weakest (relatively speaking) at this point because of the stamped steel beam's shape.

If you look closely you'll notice that there's a prototype center brace behind the subframe brace (you can make out the 4 bolt heads sticking out under everything) -- this replaces the standard RSX-S brace that is in between the suspension points. The final version to be released will work with the rear brace to lock in everything and make it a lot stiffer.

Unfortunately this mount point does not exist on the EP3 so the center brace won't fit....

Function7

I don't think that both the Beaks rear brace (Beaks is a good guy, BTW -- I know him from the old Hybrid days) and our rear brace can co-exist on the same car.

The two LCA pivot bolts are mounted in a recess on our arm so the Beaks bar will not fit "on top" of our arm since the L-bracket ends of the Beak's bar is designed to rest flat on the LCA mounting points.

... and it doesn't look like you can fit it "under" our brace either, since both the main bars will interfere with each other.

3rd problem -- you'll need a longer bolt to bolt everything up even if all the arms fit together. Problem is the bolt is a special thread (M12 x 1.25 x 88) and finding it in that size/length is next to impossible. We currently supply the hardware together with our brace kit and it fits just right. It was a major PITA to get the bolt even in the size/length we need. Finding a longer bolt accommodate both braces is next to impossible without a special custom order (believe me, we tried like mad to get ours done to the specs we needed).
