I’ll get my own pictures when I get my camera charged, but these online pics should do for now.  
I have both the front 2-point brace and the rear 4 point braces.

The front braces your tension rod brackets from frame rail to frame rail.  
The rear braces your sub frame to the chassis on both sides.  
I can try to dig up some installed pics if a serious buyer is interested.  
Looking for $250 shipped.

Sorry I didn’t specify, the rears are for an S14, the fronts fit both S13 and S14.

Real Pics:

Got a request in another thread for installed pics:  
They bolt near the back of the transmission tunnel, and then at the front-rear subframe cups.  
They wouldn’t require removal of the subframe or anything like that.

Nope, the fronts bolt in with your tension rods, and the rears bolt into the subframe cups and onto the chassis.  
No bushings required.

Updated with more info.  
The front fits both S13 and S14.  
The rears are S14 only.

The rears bolt up no issues.  
The cross bar in the power brace would interfere with the front brace.

If you buy these and are interested in the solid subframe bushings (like I posted in your thread - flush mount), I can throw them in for another $50.  
They’re still in the package, I paid $100 from Bing in December.  
I used the stupid side, and had to modify mine to make up for the stud thread depth.  
The bushings that are left would not have to be modified - they’re what I should have used.  
Check my build thread for details.
