Is the brace the lowest point on the car now?

It is close to being the lowest point. Oil pan looks to still be lower.

Where does it attach to exactly?

Should attach to the subframe mount studs.

Edit: I believe that the theory is that it keeps the studs/shell from twisting, while allowing the bushings to work normally. So, it wouldn't do anything if you have solid aluminum subframe bushings, but could stiffen things up if there is motion on that axis.

Yes to the Sub frame bolts

New hardware or uses the factory subframe bolts and nuts?
Would you say it's better matched with the rubber oe bushings or better with poly bushes?
How much does it weigh?

Thanks!

Very cool, interested in one for my convertible. Any plans for a package deal with the x brace?

I like Poly better, that said I don't know that you would feel any difference from the brace between the two.
Weight it about 4lb yes you use factory hardware
