That being said I'm still going to get one for my '04 (a rick's x-brace), as I did like how the car felt with it installed.

Stiffer tirewalls and good U.K.geo.alignment.

Mugen makes hard rubber steering bushings.
I asked about these a while ago and really got no response. Is anyone running these? You're talking about the steering gear box bushings right?

Do the alignment first. It CAN make a nite-and-day difference in steering response, like 10x the difference compare to stiffer tire, bushings, etc., especially when it sounds like your alignment was off in the first place. Fix the problem at the source instead of covering the problem with mods.

oh I definitely plan on doing the alignment first as that's most definitely the problem - I was just asking about the mugen bits out of curiosity
