According to IPD, the strut-to-firewall braces alleviate most of the flex from the front end, but coupled with a strut-to-strut brace like the Cherry Turbo design, you're looking at a pretty sweet 100% performance handling package!!

BTW, has anyone upgraded their panhard rod...MVP sells one and I'm curious if one would notice the difference over stock!
Best,
Adam
