im going to install it right now....i'll post pics when im done if yall want

 

can't wait to see that.....damn i wish i could spend money on performance parts rather then body parts......hope the 04 rear end will look good on my 03....and the hybrid mirrors....tell me if you can feel a difference in the corners....

 

mmm hybrid mirrors.

 

hybrid mirrors?


also, how much for that xbrace and how easy is it to install if you aint got a lift/jack?

 

if you don't have a jack, near impossible. you need to physically get under your car and remove some bolts.

 

hybrid mirrors will look fun........I promise but at 200 there a penny snatcher....hopefully i can find a junked one this weekend at the junk yard YAY!!!!!

 

other than that is it fairly simple?

ive also been told that the xbrace doenst do jack

Ive heard the same thing. That if u have good sway bars and strut bars, it wont help.

But im sure TheCiv will report back to us as soon as hes done, and taken it for a boot around the block.

 

well it took me bout 5-10 min to install.

im bout to take her up to get some food and i'll let chu know how it goes.

heres for now:
before


after

 

I can just imagine the clearance issues.

 

haha thats cool man i like

 

I LOVE IT...it handles awesome!


my front lips hangs lower actually. so its all good.

heres how my car sits right now anyway...
i'll post up more when i get back home tonight

 

looks good man....noice work....

 

hotness! to a clean ride

 

I wouldnt call those rims and the missmatched lights "clean"


did you have an upper strut before?

 

dang, you need to invest in a better camera!

 

awesome man. and i like the lights.. rims are soso...


So u notice it handle a lot better?

What other suspension mods do u have?

 

im just wondering, how does it make the car handle better? i can understand a sway bar, but a brace? can someone explain? theciv?

its just that extra little push of stiffness...nothing to cream your pants over

 

i would have gotten a upper strut first..

From ebay, no doubt? If he's happy then so what? It looks nice, i'm a little bit doubtful as to exactly how much it has improved the handling, but as you say it's only a slight difference then fair enough.

As mentioned... any clearance issues?

 

Looks neat. Not too sure on it's purpose, maybe just more stability?

 

Looks good to me, how much do those run btw

 

well I alrady have an upper strut, stiffer shocks so I wonder if a lower xbrace would be a noticible difference
