Cusco Braces
I love to go fast but love having some sweet handles even better so my question is what does everybody think of the Cusco braces and STB's? I'd like to start out w/ the Cusco RSTB and then the front lower underbrace, a paycheck or two later get F&R sway bars....how much would this tighten up the handling on the X? I already have Tanable springs on stock shocks by the way...

If that aint the truth...the car just seems like it could use some firming up I guess. Honestly I dont think I've taken this car anywhere near the potential it could take cornerning wise (or even speed wise), I just like the firm cornering feeling I guess

As I installed the Cusco rear sway bar as well as the upper strut tower bar, front lower arm bar and rear member power braces all at the same time, I can't say which of them helped to stiffen up chassis the most, but certainly, even given the extra weight that some will say is a hindrance in this or that regard, I would liken driving an X without these extras to, ahem, renting a new 2011 Buick.

Agreed. I have a trunk cage in my IX that shows stress fractures in its powdercoat. Street, track, or whatever umbrella takes up space...is not the determinate of goodness. It's the nut behind the wheel and his individual priories that outline a given mod path. I'm assuming, of course, that one is modifying the car to suit his driving style as well as a given application. If one is modding for the sake of modding, none of this really matters.

strut bars and lower braces to hold the suspension geometry together is a good idea. going to start try to stiffening a body with fender braces and so on is a waste of money.

besides the X chasiss is much more rigid then a ct9a, so will do even less for you those chassis braces.
