A couple of years ago, there was a group buy on a very similar lower brace for the Saab 9-5. It works great (at least initially). However it quickly suffered from stress fractures & failed in under a year in most cases. Some put it down to bad/underweight metal - IE correctable with better materials. Other put it as a more terminal condition. This brace mounts the immobile rear chassis to a flexible rubber mounted subframe. The flexing from the subframe caused the premature failure.
I'd love to buy this for my 99 9-5 but I'd like to get feedback from people who have installed it at least a year ago & have recently inspected it for stress fractures ( most likely at the welds)
