Re: (reynardmauricio)
Im not sure if I started anything negative in this thread (or added to it)... it was a joke...

No, you started it. It's pretty much all your fault. You suck.

Read up on master cylinder brace issues. I do not run one and do not know of any track buddies who run them. Here's a good thread on the negative effect those braces can have on your alignment:

Oh, and do you have a roll bar yet???</TD></TR></TABLE>
Ive talked w/ Wes about this some time ago. He seemed very skeptical (nor concerned). I think w/ or w/out the brace the towers flex enough for alignment to change under hard cornering/braking. Has anyone put a car up on an alignment rack and mashed the brake pedal to see if any values changes?
I run an eggman m/c brace. Does it make a difference, dont know but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Its been on my car for like 4 years now.

No roll bar yet... probably go with the autopower bolt in. just saving up money.
(you got a pic of it installed with the rear panels in? like maybe a trunk shot?!)
so im guessing something like a PWJDM strut bar is a better option. is it better to have or not have pivot points on the strut bar? id assume a welded piece would be a lot stiffer... really looking into anything that will make my chassis stiffer. strut bars, X bars, roll bar, etc...

Still no good shots...I can't get my hatch open without unbolting it
I asked about the roll bar because no strut bar will ever make your chasis feel like it will with a roll bar. Strut bars serve a purpose, they just don't provide for a dramatic increase in body rigidity.

Re: (nickrps)
its cool man, i forget that you have that crazy spoiler
so youd say get the roll bar before a strut bar..
I really want the roll bar with a bucket seat and harness.. i just hate how 90-91's have the seat belts mounted to the doors and the only way to make it look clean is to get 88 doors... but then i need 88 si door panels so i dont have that hole in it... thanks for the input nick.
