should have my sway bar and strut brace soon... Question....

01 i30
I should have my stillen rear sway bar and generic front strut brace next week.
Would adding a rear strut brace also make it too tight? I want good handling and luxury comfort over the racing feel.

Thanks!

Rear strut brace does almost nothing.

Keep the trunk space and save the money.

I don't know about that. I think I am going to get one and see what happens .

Definitly not for someone that want a more luxury that sport feel.

LOL...read the many posts that have been created regarding its effectiveness in the past. And then look to see how many people have it..

I believe your money is best spent elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies.... I think I'll just stick with rear sway and front strut for now. I plan on keeping the height stock. Any other suspension recommendations for a cushy ride? I drive long distance regularly and comfort is more important to me.

Perhaps you are right. I never stoped to think about it, but you are right I have NEVER seen anybody list it as a mod on their signature.

Springs and struts are not in the budget yet.... just bought the car with 30K miles (I'm the second owner, car is all stock).
Looks like a good future upgrade would be some illumina shocks with new springs.
