Question re:the brace…I know they actually make a large difference in how a car drives…does your new one improve stiffness, or just match factory bars? Or do they even provide a comparison?

At this point I can only go off of the description on IND's website but it is supposed to be lighter weight and improve rigidity. We'll see if I can discern a difference once installed. Should arrive on Friday.
Rigidity and reinforcement are two vital components in chassis tuning. BMW has continued to improve on its chassis dynamics with their new G8X M3 and M4 and a key component is their new triangular front strut brace. While functional, working with the space and cost constraints, BMW utilized a stamped steel 2-piece strut brace package.
Like the factory strut brace, the new Fall-Line Motorsports strut brace retains the superior single piece V-brace to connect the strut towers to the front-end. This ensures maximum strength to minimize chassis flex and body roll under load, aspiring confidence through corners on the circuit and off. However, unlike the factory brace, Fall-Line's strut brace is machined out of billet aluminum with chamfered cut-outs to again maximize strength and minimize weight, resulting in both improved function and aesthetics.
