no because the cross slop between the two shocks is so small that I doubt any performance is affected by even the most extreme tension and flexation. This is due to the shocks being tied together by the floor and chassis/rear subframe to a far greater extent than the front. This is my unempirical assertion though.. need some hard pact data to confirm or deny this

- Shifter
- Shift Knob
- Oil Cooler
- Slave cylinder retrofit
- HIDs/LEDs
- tires
- struts
- springs
- sways (fine tuning)
- LCAs
- a good alignment
- audio/stereo stuff
- those sweet jdm clear sidemarkers
- A tune
- E85
- exhaust
- Upgraded brake pads
need I go on sir just ask
rear strut brace shouldn't be one of them
