Default Question for the experts...

I know,it might not be the right forum to post this question,but,can't think of a more appropriate place,so here it goes:
Is the Cusco 3 pieces subframe kit,(bars)good at adding some stiffness to the chassis of an AP 1???
Already have STB,Muz X-brace,and Comptech rear brace;will I see an improvement with the Cusco bars,or is it a complete waste of money???
Thank's for your opinions.
-Emil.

you are not going to find many supporters of aftermarket chassis bracing on this forum.

but hey, you bought them already, along with the other chassis bracing that you have. Its alright, just try to enjoy them then.

Oh you wasted a lot more than $300.

You forgot to add in the cost on the STB, X brace, & rear brace.




BTW why would you ask our opinon -after- you bought it?

It doesn't have to do w/ no supporters. Anyone that actually races or competes in the car knows they're BS. Proven it too.

Hey I was gullible about it once too. I've since removed the STB and Xbrace and the car feels the same.

Power of the placebo.

My x-brace once protected my oil pan from a giant rock I ran over.

... never noticed any difference in handling with it or without it though.
