And surprisingly this brace isnt too heavy.
I don't see how that would be much of an improvement. You chose to use a single mount point on both ends of the brace (not where it attaches to the body) which creates a hinge. If you made the metal mounting tab longer by less than an inch you could secure it with 2 bolts eliminating the hinge. That would increase the rigidity significantly.
