Cool What do i choose?

ive never heard or even seen anything about these 2 braces. anyone who knows anything about these speak up. i have a small cash flow to spend on my car so help me chose. nobody ever sits in the back seat cuz i dont have one so no passenger discomfort problems. poll added to.

same question.
its not gonna make a huge difference, so you should already have upgraded springs, struts, and sway bars (and probably end links, and control arms, etc.) before you do a mod like this

agreed, this is not your everyday mod buddy, i dont think you'll even see a big benefit from it without the aforementioned mods

Uhm... these two both do virtually nothing. Especially the floor brace. FYI.

You are bracing the two sides of the car... a few inches away from the frame.... that is bracing the two sides of the car... lol

Well lowering springs, strutbar, rear strut bar and sway bars and you'll be fine.

Those items you looked at are for like time attack racing. You won't need that stuff for normal driving

i think both bars would look kinda cool but as origninaly posted i would not think they would do to much( but never have had any use of eather so i can say that).. might do wonders but i dont think they will... the floor bar looks kinda cool IMO Along with the strut tower bar... where does this go? underside of the rear deck? never done anything to the rear struts( lowering sprigns but they where easy lol no need to take them out.
