chassis stiffness
reccently I got a tanabe lower arm bar and its by far the best value off any modification I have ever done. At first i barely felt it when driving, only pulling in and out of driveways i felt it. Then i noticed my hatch squeaked less and when pushing it the car was more planted and yet less understeery. Then today when I was doing brakes, i jacked up back and started on the front and was amazed by what I saw
with three wheels jacked the 4th wheel was hanging in the air at almost the same hieght as the others!! Almost all the flex has been eliminated!! Pretty freaken cool, also with the car as is in the pics, the doors open and close with no jamming problems like I used to have cause. I have a front and rear strut tower bar and they definately didnt do as much as this one did. Im gonna try making a frame rail reenforcement brace like the ones made for miatas (http://www.flyinmiata.com/Store/images/13-69010.jpg)

Just to let people know that there's a cheaper alternative.
