No disrespect guys, but you really do need to do some research to find the differences between sway bars and braces. They are totally different and 'do' totally different jobs.
The idea of a brace (whether it be on top or underneath) is to strengthen the chassis points etc and prevent any movement which has the potential to alter suspension geometry. Sway bars reduce body roll. They also have a huge affect on under and oversteer. Too small can cause understeer as can too big. Larger on the rear 'usually' increases oversteer but different cars are affected in different ways. My GT-Four does feel as if it turns in better with the Cusco brace. I have also fitted a C-One tower brace too which should help. Front and rear sway bar sizes have also been increased to help improve the handling. Whiteline at the rear and custom made up front. So to sum up, the under-brace is not a subsitute for larger swaybars and vice versa. And sway bars will make the biggest difference but beware, fit the wrong size and it'll have a negative effect.
