I just recently put in my car on three separate occasions, in order: Agressive alignment, Cusco V2 front lower brace, and Whiteline steering rack bushings.
The car flat out TURNS now, no fuss, no hesitation...just plain honest Steering.
I can honestly say that the lower brace and rack bushings Rock!!! for the price you just can't go wrong.

btw. MPJ offers free shipping to hawaii for the bushings.

Also thanks to Ryan, Jeff, and Jon for the encouragement and moral support on getting that damn drivers side bushing in

 

bushings rock. feels good. is that cusco brace heavy at all?

I'm going to do that one of these days, but that PITA one has me stalling.

 

Did you do the bushings yourself? I have a set, and keep meaning to get around to installing them...how long did it take? Any pointers?

 

did u have these at last weeks auto-x? you had some really good times in sm. good job bro!

 

Thanks Ed....and I had neither the brace nor the bushings in at the last auto-x
Can't wait till next month !!

 

Beam....it was a pain in the butt. Pointers: take off all four bolts first and pull the bushing out of the passenger side first, this will clear up more room to get the drivers side bushing out and then the new one in. Use a large flat head screwdriver to coax/and or "massage" the new bushing.


Greg....the brace weighs like 1.5-2lbs

 

Man I have done the bushings 4 times now. Silver Satin did them the first time and I watched. They are a pain the first time, and it sucked doing them on greg's car without a breaker bar. If anyone wants help when I get home I'll be glad to help you. They really do make the car feel better. I was just looking at my RS and it seems that the power steering lines a run a little differently so it seems that it make be a little more difficult. I'm glad to hear your car feels good. Did that lower brace really make that big of a difference?

 

HUGE...butt that's just according to my highly calibrated G-force meter/butt dyno

 

roofscoop. i will have mine ready to go in when you get back if i haven't already done so. i'm kinda broke after buying x-mas gifts so i won't get to order anything till the 23rd. but it should give me enough time to do everything and make it to the next auto-x.
