    I completely agree.

    I think the converts can use a tower brace more than others, too.

        they're next on my list.
        i'm sure the swaybar made a huge difference too.

        how much did they charge for installation?

          My new SFC's will be going in as soon as the weather gets warmer and I have some time off of work. I had them before, but had to get rid of them because of wear-n-tear.

          I got alot of things planned to install just before I sell it. A SuperSport will soon be placed in my garage....:naughty:

            What do you mean "wear and tear"?

              My old 2 1/2 car garage (I miss it so...) had a steep incline that led into it, and my car would always bottom-out as I was entering and exiting. I tried many of times to fill the incline with dirt, rocks, & concrete to see if I could level it out, but to no avail.

              Anyhow, the steep incline took it's toll on the SFC's. They began to bend and rust, so I cut them off with a grinder. The garage on my new house is only fits one car, but it's a level driveway. New weld-in SFC's coming soon! :)

                  out of curiosity why do you have alot of things planned to install BEFORE you sell it? That seems backwards to me, mods typically don't increase the value of a car and usually decrease it.

                    Not to mention that some of these mods could be more useful installed on your future SS.

                      Sway bars are very easy, do them yourself. Price shop around for a place to weld on the subs. Or better yet, get a friend with a welder.

                        What size sway bar did you go with? front or rear sway? I noticed more of a difference in the front than the rear sway. I have 35mm front, 21mm rear. I also like my STB good investment.

                          I got a 32mm 1LE sway bar in front, and i left the back stock. Yes, i'm thinking i'll get a stb as well, i'm sure it'll reduce cowl shake.

                            Well, it's things that I have lying around anyhow, and I want to install to get rid of the bump steer before I sell it. My wife's 20 yr old niece is probably going to buy it and I want to get it as sturdy as possible for the road. Even if she doesn't end up buying it, I'd like to sell it in the best condition possible.

                            I'm hoping that the SS will have alot of item's already installed, but if it doesn't, I'll have something to spend some money on...no big deal. It gives me something to do on the warm/summer days off.
