Running just the brace kit and strut bar, there was a difference already with how the car felt over bumps( more all of one piece feeling) and through bends (less body roll).
Even a fellow 86 owner sitting as a passenger could feel how good the chassis feels.
After putting in the door braces and mounts, the car feels even better.
All of this on stock suspension that I have no intension of changing and all stock bushings which I WILL be changing in strategic places.
Bracing the car up DOES make a difference but only if you go all the way. I dont think just the power braces will have much effect on their own?
hope this helps

Agreed, I plan to use some Whiteline bushings on other components.

cusco braces are pretty cheap. They range around $200 bucks or so. That is cheap to me. I don't plan on changing the suspension anytime soon as I am trying to work on saving for Ohlins just because race car.

Will do soon once I get back from deployment.
I just don't see how it does not make an improvement. Cusco is a reputable company that wouldn't make something that was useless. Adding additional weight for some chassis stiffness and improve handling, response is worth it in my book. Again, I am no professional drive or anything but I think it would make an improvement.
