So after putting on a few hundred miles & a track day I notice a slight improvement in peppiness but nothing major to write home about. I bought mine for $130 so I think it’s worth doing if you...

I think they loosen those two bolts so that if the subframe sags when you remove the big bolt it doesn’t bend the bracket or put a lot of stress on it.
