I am on a quest for a much stiffer car. Eventually plan on making the car into a track car. Anyone used these?

not seen one of those, but reminds me of cabrio chassis stiffeners i've seen on tt roadster and bmw z4

Seen Ultra stuff, looks OK on the quality front

Not seen that specific item (eg rear beam stiffener), buts its the only thing of its kind about (bolt-on stiffening rear beam other than with an arb)

Bit cheaper than a VW motorsport rear racing beam

Do you think it's a worthy purchase? Will I feel the difference?
Thanks

The brace for the rear doesn't actually affect beam stiffness like an antiroll bar does. The brace merely supports the beam mounts on the chassis. If it's going to be a track car, cut out the middle man and get a cage.

You only get the rear brace so I doubt you would feel anything.

The OEM rear beam flexes in all directions, so that beam support will aid lateral stiffness

A cage still stiffen the whole chassis, but not the torsion beam itself

hence why VW made a much stiffer rigid rear beam without ARB's for racing
