I took a daily route today and the car was definitely much more planted through a corner I roll through on my daily commute (Burnside going west turning right onto SE 242nd). I think the redundancy of driving my car daily with the same mods for so long has allowed me to notice the change in driving feel by adding a strut bar.

Slowly modifying a car (because of family and other expenses) is not as gratifying, but I think every little change along the way is much more rewarding.

i think this is the key right here to having a car long term. too often i see people who go from stock to fully built in a year or two ... and then what. they've bought/installed every possible modification short of tearing the engine apart and going for a massive build. People tend to get bored because they aren't looking for parts anymore or planning what to install and they start looking for a new car/project to fill that void.

I for one have this issue, and am working towards not succumbing to it.
