I also have a question on products that brace the car frame like:
Cusco Front Strut Tower Bar Type OS w/ Master Cylinder Brace
Cusco Rear Strut Tower Bar Type OS
Cusco Power Brace Rear Member
Cusco Front Member Powerbrace
Cusco Front Lower Arm Powerbrace
Cusco Rear Member Side Powerbrace
Cusco Engine Room Powerbrace
Cusco Rear End Bumper Beam Powerbrace

Because if they ruin the handling of the car I don't want them on my wish list anymore. I'm more of a few times a year, love good handling cars than a guy that cares only about looks. The car already looks good. I just would like a little more handling if that's possible while maintaining the daily drivability. My build link has lots of stuff on my wishlist. (link in signature)
I would skip all of those braces and get some konis and maybe a front sway bar. And if you don't have the OEM camber bolt, get it.
