bacillus: Robin answered your question: the carpet does act as a washer. If you look at the instructions, after installing the nutserts you replace the carpet, find the nutsert locations and drill through the carpet. You can then install the UNIbrace XB. :happy2:

Which makes the whole install look extremely tidy... :happy2:

....Indeed the finished result does look very neat and tidy. Even when the XB is removed, if you screw the Allen bolts back into the nutserts through the carpet holes, it looks tidy and masks the carpet hole cuts.
However, it's more of a 10 minute job than a 5 minute job to take the XB in and out because the Allen bolts are quite long < Another good feature. :happy2:

Robin,
Think you've done a super job on these reviews... but tell me, for your car... are you happy, impressed, glad you took the gamble? :party:

....Thanks to you, yes! Extremely happy indeed. The difference since fitting UNIbraces is equivalent to fitting a Quaife diff - Something which totally transforms the whole car :notworthy:

And about half the cost... :smiley:

Whilst it's interesting to read the subjective analysis, and credit for the comprehensive write-up, it'd be interesting to know if anyone in the UK or across the pond performed an objective assesment of the braces?
The usual DIY approach is to mount a laser pointer on a rear turret and aim the laser at a jury rigged board in the front of the car. You then jack up the car to a known height, once with and once without the stiffening device, noting where the laser beam hits the board when at ride height and the two jacked scenarios. Obviously this technique will only provide a relative comparison, but it's not a bad approach for DIY.
