Never seen one for an FTO before :? Would say it'd go on the chassis somewhere...

I pretty sure cusco has a H-brace for the FTO, that probably just a cheap replica.

Interesting... so the front bolts on to the front of the control arm - where does the back bolt onto?

I looked at a GPX years ago. It had holes in the floorpan near the front of the doors (lots of rust neart the holes too... didn't buy it ;) ) Dealer said there was some kind of brace there but they removed it before selling it.
LED ALL the things.

    I had one of those on mine when I bought it. I sold it to Dr Jones from memory.

    On my car it caused dramas as my car is lowered and it scraped on _everything_ and also being such a tight fit, as the engine moves due to revs, it would hit the brace and make noises while driving.

    All that being said, it did make the car incredibly rigid.
