Just picked up lewfx's old dodge neon strut bar and made a 3point strut myself. I spray painted it black so it'll match my stock one.

I have the Megan Racing neon brace and I'm not really sure if it does much. It was pretty cheap, so I'm not too upset about it. It looks pretty, and looks like it should do something. That kinda goes against what I believe, but I've been told if I really test it, it will help. There's no way it couldn't do something. I'll shoot for the TRD and those braces in the fenders. That should really help. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

Uneven pavement and stuff doesn't seem to make as much noise. But I think the only way to find out is to hit the track or something. |

I just took it off... I noticed that it was so tight that it literally made one side higher than the other, so there's a bigger gap between the wheels on the right and a tiny itty bitty gap on the left.
Freakin lewfx made it so tight I can't untighten it... oh well. |
