Those things have limited or no success, not worth it. However I had reasonable success with a 'performance' chip through ebay for $80 odd. No doubt not as good as the doctors, but it all depends on your budget.

I'll let you know after this avo if the strut braces do much..

you can gain upto 20hp! So no promise there. It's too cheap for gaining 20hp, people spend hundreds of dollars to get that much HP.

I found the strut brace quite worthwhile- genuine Holden fitted over the weekend. The car is a bit more planted in the front. Quite happy.

Any noticeable difference in ride quality? (Is your car currently lowered or factory suspension?)
