Having been around these cars my whole life and seen far too many crashed 900,9-3 come through our shop, careful studying of the crashes can tell you volumes about the weaknesses of the chassis. This only comes from experience. It also will show you where your additional parts need to fail to preserve crashworthiness. This part is strong in triangulating the subframe but will easily crush and tearout from the forces of a frontal accident. I am sorry you do not understand our unique mounting method and structural fuse construction. One can easily compare the size of the brace members compared to the bulk of the cars subframe. Our brace is very strong in tension but is designed to crush easily due to the angular joining of the 6 arms. The main benefit here is being able to avoid the accident but it is not possible to eliminate all crash risk so it has to be accounted for.
