IRS Subframe Bracket Brace The rear IRS subframe mounting point attaches to the car using a cantilevered bracket that is prone to flexing under load because the outer half of this bracket is completely unsupported.

Billetflow's offers a subframe bracket brace that reinforces the rear mounts and eliminates flexing thus improving corning stability.
