Ordered a new Stoptech bbk setup for the car. The Rotora 4/2 setup will be coming off in a few weeks if anyones interested in it.

The Rotora kit has treated me well over the years. The Stoptech kit is more common in the states so its easier to source stuff for in a pinch, offers cheaper rotor rings & more pad selection.

While I pine to get one of these, do humor us in the meantime with what improvements it made

I know when I had a regular strut tower bar alone, it killed a lot of under and oversteer. Imagine all the more so with one of these.

I cant speak on sedans, but there has always been a bit of a disconnect to the rear on my wagon. The rear gtspec strut bar helped a good bit. It was noticeable, even off the track on winding roads. Hoping the triangle will even go a step further since it ties in an extra point and is a better design. Next track day will be in June and I can push it hard then.
