Owners are usually left choosing between cutting the brace and removing it, both of which cost structural rigidity. The MMX brace is designed to give 15mm of additional clearance while sitting no lower than the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBillet Construction, Stiffer Result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining from 6061-T6 billet allows material to be concentrated where the load paths run.
