Your dealer will typically have someone in house who does it for them and for cheap since they deal in wholesale type situations. It is better since they could probably slip you in when they have a bunch of their vehicles equipped with a system like that and you can have yours done as well for a much better price than a shop like say.. custom sounds......................... .. . . .. . . . .. . . . . .

Even so! its probably them that does it.

It helps to prevent firefall flex when you are braking under high pressure. Like, my cusco front strut bar has a build in MC brace but they come stand alone also .Check out this video, it shows a great amount of difference between stock and braced.

I have the Cusco and I definitely could feel a difference. It's a slight free brake upgrade. Makes them feel a bit more responsive in stopping.

Got my settings dialed in to experiment with on the V3's. Went with Myles KW V3 street settings then I will adjust from there. So far, the ride is pretty awesome. If anything, these settings are VERY close to right where it needs to be.

I park in a garage both at home and at work, so as long as it doesn't hail while I am driving I am covered. Literally!

I was wondering if any of you who have swapped to coilovers still have your oem suspension laying around. I am in need of two front OE shock/struts that I can buy, preferably on the cheap, to use with my new Koni yellow shocks? Please sent a PM so as not clutter up the Austin thread any further.

I don't think you'll have much to worry about. Last time we saw hail here was back in 2008-2009.
