rear subframe support brace

first time i've seen this. googled it, got nothing. coming from BMWs, there are subframe issues in some models, but i haven't read anything about this in porsches. any valid support for this type of product? or just BS? anyone have any idea?

This is an existing OEM part.

yeah, that's what it said that this replaces the existing OEM part. just wondering if this type of mod is justified. like in some BMWs, the replacement of an OEM part with a stronger aftermarket part arguably reduces the risk of subframe cracks so it became a must-do mod. but don't know about this on the p-cars.

I would be very surprised if the OEM brace has that much flex in it, particularly in normal driving. Maybe on the track with compound tires it might make a difference.
