So I've been reading the "X-brace" threads for a couple of years and decided it was time. I ordered the Whiteline from Muz. Shipped out on Monday and made it to NY today (Wednesday). Fast, huh? I wasn't going to tackle this tonight, because I already changed my diff oil today and I'm old. . Anyway, I got the front jacked up and sitting on stands, got my $3.99 8mm hex wrench from Sears and my 14mm socket and I'm off. I read where some guys had to loosen some of the adjacent bolts to line everything up, but for some reason this went just perfect!
It went so well that I was waiting for the car to fall on me, but 15 minutes and I was done. I took it for a quick ride on some of my regular crappy roads, and the first thing I noticed is that the steering felt a bit tighter, but in a positive way. Nice on-center feel. The car seems more stable on the uneven road surfaces that I deal with daily. Of course it feels stable to begin with. I'll give it a good run tomorrow, but I'm pleased with it so far. If this is the "placebo effect", Ill take a case!

 

for Muz X-brace!!!

 

hmmm...mine shipped on the 10th & hasn't arrived yet (17th)...still looking forward to installing.

well the good news is I saved over a thousand on my car insurance.

 

I had a chance to take the car for a nice long run all around the Bear Mountain area and Seven Lakes Drive. I'm sure many of you NY/NJ folks are familiar with the area. Plenty of turns, dips and other fun things. I think the the Muz/Whiteline brace is worth doing. Makes a great car even better.

 

Yes sir

 

+ you get clean oil changes !!!
for Mr.Muz

 

just installed my whiteline, too. agree with your review 100%.

thnx again, Muz

 

one of my first mods ... still happy ... no problems

 

When I installed my Muz x brace I had trouble with the final bolt. I had it propped up on jack stands, three of the bolts went in fine. The third no such luck. It looked as if the car shifted when I removed the original bolts. I believe it was due to being up on regular jack stands and not on the stands which the front tires can rest on. I think due to the front tires hanging, it shifted slightly. I ended up accidently crossthreading that final bolt and had to take it to Spugen to get it installed properly. I've heard that this is a common problem with installing them.

 

I will pick one up as soon as I get my koni yellow's on there...I know my stock shocks wont last very long with the Espiler springs I put on there sunday...Might as well go ahead and get the koni's
