Thank you soo much Scott@FontanaNissan

Ok, so after driving the car hard for the last 2 days, I can say i'm in love again, lol

Its not a placebo effect, as you could feel the the bars at work during hard cornering, hitting the onramp at speed for example, you could feel the car tightening up. Its like you could feel the bars transfering the load during cornering. Traction has improved but the traction light comes on alil more (not a big deal tho). The Z feels more planted, and really makes the car much more fun to drive fast. Confindence is improved as when taking a corner at greater speeds the car just holds so well that it makes you want to go faster.

I can say without a doubt bodyroll/understeer is 99% eliminated, and side to side motion is greatly reduced. The whole car just feels tighter without reducing ride quality. I truly understand now how important chassis stiffening parts are, as the whole car feels complete and all the parts are acting as a whole.

The only weak point now would be the tires, lol I have the hankook v12's but will be switching to RE-11's in the near future. Im also thinking of switching to the amuse rear bar to add a tiny bit more support, as for the GTspec braces I really dont think i'll need those as this kit is pretty complete & the car feels soo balanced. Next to my KW V3's, this is the best suspension part ive bought.

If I missed something or you guys have any other questions, dont be shy to ask
