I just put this on my vic and it helped alot before when i would corner fast and hard my front tires where kinda bouncy and didnt want to turn with out me making them but now with the x brace my steering is so much more tighter and no more bounce it is the best mod for the price if you get the nuespeed upperstrut bar to go with it. Oh yea revo short throrw probably the next best mod with grey's upgrade kit and capyoda's bushing kit thanks guys

It will reduce chassis flex in the front subframe. I thought it helped with understand, but like curiousfish said, only when pushing the car.

Great mod if you push your car hard through corners, on ramps, etc.

$159 on robearracing.com, but that's probably not the best price.

So if you have the Neuspeed Front Lower X-Brace, would you still need to upgrade the front lower sway bar? Or could you get both and it would handle even better? Or would they both even fit at the same time? Thanks!

They both will fit. The x brace does not have the same function has the sway bar. Read the autox and suspension FAQs to understand what the parts do. You can upgrade the front sway bar but it will just produce more understeer.

I never had it scrape. I had rocks hit it, but never scrape. Others have bent the parts where the bolts go because those actually hang lower than the brace.

yup, i've really trashed the mounting points. Not too serious, I just might have to clean them up a little if i ever want to take it off. They are the lowest point on my car. I have scrapped on big dips in the road, high sewer covers, curbs, speed bumps, etc. I am not even lowered that much. I think it is a great suspension mod though, very worthwhile.
