My X Brace Review
I too noticed a difference immediately after havig my Rick's x-brace fitted. It was only a very slight difference, although it was definitely noticeable.
Steering response at freeway speeds became more immediate and sharper, and driving at 8/10s or more through bumpy corners, the front end felt more "planted".

ok well no one cares if you didn't notice any experience I'm saying that after weeks of driving without one and then switching to one it does make a difference, like i said i take the same corner everyday to work at the same speed and conditions and the day I installed it and went to work the car slipped out a little bit, the rear end slid out a little, but back on topic, here's my question though, instead of investing in a sway bar and spending more money so my rear end won't come out can't I just take the x brace off so i won't loose more money? pretty much I need someone to persuade me to buy one lol
Dude, like I said before: spend the money on some driving education. It's a hell of a lot more fun than wrenching on the car in the garage, and it's a "mod" that you can take with you in every car you drive for the rest of your life.
i put a tower bar on mine and i know it's different but it felt VERY stiff and i got the same thing that the back slid out on me and i went and got it aligned and drove it more and got used to it now i know how it slides out and can drive it faster through the same corners i drive all of the time. the corner off of 422 onto 100 i could take at about 45ish and now i can take it at almost 60 just starting to slide out so even though it's diff from a X brace the driver mod is what's wrong.

That's nothing. After I called the psychic hotline, they told me that a dark-haired stranger was going to come into my life and I would gain some money. Right after that, I ordered some steak in a restaurant, but the waiter suggested the special of the day which was less expensive. And he had dark hair! I'll never scoff at the people who believe in psychics or X-braces ever again!
I dunno dude! Just because you can't feel a difference doesn't mean other people can't. I'm not saying it'll make the car faster, but that's not even my point so I won't go there. I won't insult you if you don't insult me. Anyhow there's too much BS and chestbeating on this topic already. My purpose in contributing to this thread was simply to share my experience. I was fully prepared to not feel any difference. It was purely experimental at that point. And if I didn't feel anything, I would've pulled it off and sold it.FWIW I've spent over $3000 purely on driving education, so I think I at least know the fundamentals.
