Installed the DC Sports Strut Braces today and the MPx Plug/Coil Heat shield. Haven't driven her yet but I'll get a chance to tomorrow. The AGP Dogbones and Trans Mount will hopefully go in this Saturday and I'll post installation pix and my review of the Mounts/Braces this weekend pending the weather conditions... she doesn't like it when I take her for walks in the rain.
YES her name is Betty.

Cool
I've read a lot of people (people who have the knowledge in turning included) saying the strut bars, mainly the front bar, doesn't do anything/much. When I put both on at the same time it definitely changed the handling, and I just took the front one off and it feels less stiff and turn in is not as tight - actually very noticable. I like the feel with them both :tup:
Theres so much more to buy it's sickening lol... I need to get me them dog bones, the inserts do their job but not stiff enough.
Post up how the trans mount install goes, I have always planned to skip it because I hear its a b*tch.

I couldn't wait to drive her so I just got back :D There is a very noticeable difference in body flex with both front and rear strut bars in. She feels like she's made of one piece and extremely tight. Not any real noticeable difference in handling, per se, but she feels like she moves as a whole. Me likey likey!
And I couldn't believe how much cooler my coil/wires were after that little heat-shield. I could actually rest my hand on them - barely warm to the touch at full engine temp. I'll try to put the others in this weekend, after that, Eibach (dunno yet) Springs and Progress Sways to finish the basic susp. before stage 2 goes in.
I found this, Andy. A trans mount install... looks fairly easy (oh ow deceiving that can be!). I'll bring my cam and take some pix of how I get through it.
