I installed them last spring and they made quite a difference at turn in under braking at the track. Before they were installed the turn in was quite vague under heavy braking.
Edit: I should have noted here that I also installed the Perrin offset control arm bushings at the same time. The comment still holds true, but the control arm bushings played some part. I think the control arm bushings helped more with the turn-in. The control arm braces helped more with the feel under heavy braking just prior to turn-in. I think these are best used in conjunction with other braces. Adding a non-hinged strut tower brace like this one http://passwordjdm.com/PasswordJDM-U...8627C2619.aspx will help out some. What really made a difference was this chassis brace: http://www.frsport.com/Carbing-Front...Z_p_52274.html You can expect more NVH with this one, but it is worth it in my opinion. When the weather warms up I plan to do a full review.

I installed these separately to my offset bushings.
The difference is almost imperceptible. There IS a minute improvement in braking stability. |
