I like the 3rd gen engine brace, but this is just a thought. I think you would get better results out of it if you mounted it higher up on the engine. Mounting it so low leave the engine a lot more room to rock around. To me it looks like all you will be doing there is raising the pivot point of the engine by a couple of inches.
If you were to mount the brace at the top of the engine somewhere then I think that you would get a lot less movement out of it. Just a thought....
Looks good! Where'd you get the 3rd gen brace at?

Keep in mind that the longer the brace is the more It can flex.
I wasnt able to find a nice mounting location on the top of the engine that was less then 12" from the strut tower.
I have noticed an improvement on decel and gear shift.
I got the brace on e-bay for $49 there are tons of them.
