Picked up an X-brace yesterday from MG Racing and put it on lastnight. Man what a difference. The car is tighter and steering is even quicker than before. The amazing part of it is that the car feels and rides noticably smoother than before! This is defintely the best mod out there for the stook. Only took me about 10 minutes to put on, but I had to buy a 8mm hex socket for my torque wrench which you could only get in a set at Lowe's for $25, damn! One thing about the x brace though. It seems to be a fairly simple design made from welded tubular steel. Seems like any decent machine shop or fabricator could put one together for a whole lot less than the $200 it cost to get the Spoon from Japan. Unless they have it patented or something.

Im sure that a machine shop could do it though they thought of it! They did the research and testing. They deserve the money. Just my $0.02

BTW: Mine is on order with Ming!
