Had a chance to try the car out last night.
It's a bit weird. I think it's all in my mind cause i wasn't expecting any difference at all, but on some roads i know well, the car tended to *hold the line* through certain bends, but last night, the car was displaying a four wheel drift through these same bends with a slight oversteering attitude.
Not what i expected at all, but feedback through the chassis was good and perfectly controllable.
Only got one concern. If you have a look at this thread Cusco strut braces
Can anyone post a piccy of the two types of arms?

The only bit in English was "This product is designed for use in Japan only. It must not be used in any other country"

It will only go on one way. My worry though is if you get airborne and suspension extends fully. The lower arms hit the brace.
Anyone got a pic of the alloy arms to see if this will provide clearance?

I should be able to get a pic for you if you're interested.
For info, I used the supplied bolts for the lower front arm, but there is so much thread showing that you probably don't need to replace the originals with them.
Also the rear lower arm comes supplied with brackets to screw the bolts into but on UK cars at least, the cradle has threaded bosses already fitted, so brackets not needed.
