OK, ive had the strut brace on for two days i've been driving now. Couldn't really test it last night because the roads were too wet, however i did find that driving in a straight line the suspension felt more responsive (possibly because my struts were flexing under normal load??). Gave it a bit today and tonight, put it through it's paces and it does feel better and more responsive in the corners. Suspension is doing more work (so hopefully it's taking the work from the chassis). Thank god i dont have much work on the engine planned yet though. It's gonna be a pain to remove all the time. So yea, for $45 they're definatly a good thing to do.
VYMAD, hey, i have one of those "bird perches". I know it works, and yes, it REALLY kicks in at those speeds! Havn't had it up at that speed that many times though. I reckon it looks good though, so i dont care what people say (people seem to be split roughly 50/50 on the topic too [just search about topics on them]). No neons though, i can't stand them, especially outside the vehicle. Although i had one in the boot, because it looked good with my sound system in my old vehicle. And used less power than the original light. That's about all i consider OK, although some installs inside a vehicle can look good.
