JIC Strut braces installed
Just installed the front and rear strut tower braces. Have only taken on trip so far so I don't have much to go on so far. Appearance they look great. Seem to stiffen the car a tad and help with understeer and body roll to an extent. So far I am pleased.

ouch dude...just FYI...if you just installed BARS you are no better off than you were with your factory strut bar...to increase rigidity beyond what factory offers you need a 4 point BRACE....

Talk to Huff at Vivid. He found the factory bar actually flexed at the weld seams. I don't know how I am no better off than the one factory strut bar than larger aftermarket bars on the front AND rear. Just my 2 cents
