    I put on a ported throttle body, front and rear strut tower braces, and new diagonal braces and wow what a difference! it's like night and day, the car corners awesome now and that new tb really makes the blower scream and is a lot more responsive. Made my day

    ZZP TB's are crap. Proven to screw up idle quality and many other things.

    Sorry about that purchase as you can DIY it or send it to a few people on here and have it done for about $50 or less. But, if your happy that is all that matters right?

    Cross brace does it, but does a lot better when combined with springs and sway bars. The diagonals have nothing to do with handling.

    The diagonal braces don't do much, I just bought them to match the strut tower braces plus the old diagonal braces were rusted to s**t so wanted to get rid of them
