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