This is old hat for most of you, I know, but I fitted my BMR brace yesterday, fully expecting to be underwhelmed. However, instead I was amazed at the transfomation in the steering - sharper, more precise, more linear and tying the front end down to react as a single unit rather than like two different cars.
Can't believe I never did this before. Very recommended. And BMR have a sale on.

Yup, STB is a must ... along with all the other suspension stuff ... now if I were only able to do a AutoX with my 'vert ... (better yet, get the SFCs on and then do an AutoX run  )

Mine was the finishing touch so perhaps stiffening everything else made the front bit flex to compensate. Who knows but I'm definitely not imagining the improvement and I don't do slow. He he.

The biggest suspension add ons that I noticed were my Kenny Brown SFC; BMR Extreme Strut Tower Bar; G-2 Adjustable A-Arms, G-2 Sway Bar, G-2 Pan Hard Bar, G-2 Lower Control Arms, G-2 Torque Arm; Eibach Springs; Bilstein Shocks. Of course I had them all put on in the same day, so that could be why they all seem to be the same.

My biggest bang for buck mod was the 555RII tires. There I could feel something like all the shortcomings in the rest of the suspension.
