Hello all new people! Seems there's enough of us now, we need to start arranging meets! =D

Forgot to say, i will be going all cusco brace and suspension pieces in the very near future. I want this car to handle exceptionally well, I'm young now and can put up with a semi-rough ride haha.
I won't be getting off until 12 for sure tonight so you'll probably be done then, i'll text you though.

Just got my Cusco chassis braces all put on today (Zenkai did the work; I'd recommend, I guess). Wow... just wow! First car I've done full braces on, and I did NOT expect that much of a difference, and at low speed too. Car rides like a Porsche now; feels like the whole thing was billeted out of one giant block of aluminum. And it could be my imagination (or lack of sleep), but I'd swear the damn car rides better with the Cusco bits on. As in, more comfortable. Drawbacks? Oh yeah, the chassis is now writing checks those stock tires can NOT cash! Whole car's so cool and composed, I find myself taking corners faster than I should, and being surprised when the rear traction decides to go on strike.

Best $1k I've spent on a car, possibly ever.

(Incidentally, if anybody here was thinking of ordering a TRD Strut-tower Brace, let me know. I ended up ordering one I'm not using now, and want to sell it.)

What cusco braces did you get ??? the arm, power brace, strut bar or all of them ??

Front strut-tower brace with brake stopper, and one of every PowerBrace they offered except the engine bay braces (which at about $400 a set gave me a deeper appreciation for the stock ones). All together six sets of parts. Didn't go with the rear strut-tower brace either since TRD thinks they adversely affect the balance, and I'm inclined to agree with them. Never drove a car with a rear strut-tower brace that I liked the handling in, though I'm sure others have differing opinions.

Awesome thanks. I was thinking of getting myselft the tower strut bar and front and rear arm brace with eibach sport line Kit. Can't wait to experience it for myself.

Sounds like this car just gets better and better! I can't wait to start modifying mine. Thanks for the info!
