Installed J's Front Strut and C-Pillar, wowzers!

I installed my C-Pillar this afternoon and this evening Toy-Yoda installed my Front Tower Bar. Thanks dude!! I went for a cruise after and WOW, I can feel a big difference when I tossed the car around. It seems like Body roll has gone way down! You know when you go LEFT RIGHT real quick while driving forward. Well on the second motion the car doesn't seem to want to keep shifting around! Also on curves and quick turns the car seems a lot more planted. The j's front bar also blings up the engine bay as an added bonus! I also think wheel-hop has gone down a bit, but that might just be placebo, lol.

Good to hear. I've been tossing around Tanabe vs J's in my head for a while. This will help my decision.

Tanabe's or any other brand might work out the same way, I was just surprised that I actually noticed something while driving around the city.

i doubt you'd be able to feel a difference in "body roll". but props for fixing up your car!!

you'd feel a real difference if you installed a rear sway bar
