Blau blau, do a search on spoon or spoon x-brace, or x-brace. There are many posts on this.

Its not really quantifiable. Though you will think new springs/shocks were installed!

Consensus is that they are a nice improvement to handling, stiffness, turn-in and rough road ride.

One or two folks reported fit problems. Mine went onvery easily once the car was off the ground.

Only downsides might be cost, not SCCA A-stock legal and slightly messier oil changes..

I've heard no negatives on the spoon unit. Mingster is working on his design as we speak....
