Thanks for your reply. What I'm trying to get here is a description of any improvements in handling. What is different? Is there less body roll? Is the car noticeably more responsive? Less jittery on the offramps? I'm not too interested in any other modifications until I need to do repairs. From what I've read, the brace is some sort of improvement of some kind...but I can't get a sense of what the improvement really is.

My base model 5-spd is powerful enough and I feel it handles reasonably well for a big, fwd sedan. Being able to choose my own gears makes a huge difference to me in wringing what fun I can from the S70.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has installed a brace in their S70 and can offer a before and after sort of comparison.

Thanks!
