IMO, the F.T. aluminum hinge pin brace is not a "performance" upgrade, but rather a "durability" upgrade. I have seen a few guys at the track who are running the plastic braces on their RS SC10's, and after a gnarly wreck, the hinge pins popped out. I have the aluminum F.T. brace on my truck and have never had a single issue with that area of the truck. Hope that answers your question...
