Lower tie bar - the open end (left side of car) is at the wrong angle, and over time will move and doesn't have the correct design for 100% bolt grip.

4 point ladder brace - i don't have nothing bad to say about this, replacing a oem 35kg item with the 14kg ladder = less car weight = good thing. but it ain't gonna add any body regidity.

Rear strut brace - negetive aspects have already been spoken about. i don't see why it wouldn't fit the hatch though.

Rear v brace - how much extra bracing does a solid and fully welded bit of metal need?

That is bloody heavy. I think there is a decimal point in the pounds reading of the scales. That would be a lot more accurate which would make it 3.53kg and 1.36kg respectively.

haha! That would make much more sense. lol

Yes the Cusco tie brace ends look 200% better.
