Thanks

The strut braces are just part of the suspension package that do in fact add in overall "tightness". The car feels extremely well balanced and has no real bad habits in terms of cornering characteristics. I find that in when I reach the limit in cornering adhesion the tires are more the weak link than the suspension (I'm talking mainly autocross). And the car could use a better driver too. Understanding the effects of weight transfer and other cornering techniques are far more important than the additional bracing. The braces are a good modification for the money though. There aren't too many things that you can do for a couple hundred dollars.
