I picked up and installed front arm performance bar, chassis brace, and wagon bar. I also picked up a spoon shifter knob, mugen visors which I will be installing today.

There are some freeway intersections that I tested the new setup on and it feels much stiffer. I anticipated upgrading and made a mental note of how the car behaves on those turns before the upgrades and it's a big difference with these bars on it stiffening up the wobbly fit frame. I can take the turns at around ~15-20mph faster than before and the frame won't twist like a fusilli pasta.

Now I just need to get some strut and sway bars

Laille beatrush lower arm performance bar and chassis bar (i also have the underpanel, not pictured)

Wagon bar

Spoon shifter, adds 15 hp

did your car come with the stock chassis brace, where you mounted the 4-point?

Yes it did, I managed to mount both the beatrush and stock braces together (beatrush first, then stock on top of that) since they use different mounting points for the bolts to secure them.

The only thing is that the stock chassis brace presses against the beatrush one against the bottom bar of the beatrush (longer bar) so after time I think the stock one will scratch the beatrush a bit, but I don't really care about that. I didn't take a picture unfortunately
