I just installed my Strut tower brace and Rear brace tonight and this is more like the car should have handled from the factory. I can't wait to put on the sway bars and springs.

Nope, it took about 15min and 10 of that was trying to find a 9/16" socket. :) The nuts dont thread on quite as far as I'd like, ie the studs are a little short, but it will work. Just take off the 6 nuts, set brace in place, and re-install stock nuts.

Where did you get them from, and how much might I ask? (peep)

I got them from corksport (http://corksport.com/store/category/5iwn/ate-Suspension_misc.html) and I paid an arm and a leg. It was almost $1000 for all four parts. But if you wanna go fast you gotta pay the price:)

Strut Tower Brace $243
Rear Brace $129
Front Sway $277
Rear Sway $268

It took almost 4 weeks for delivery but the parts did come from Japan.
