Man, I wish. Everything I've done and it's loads better than stock, but I just can't bring it home. I think super high level summer tires will help most of all, can't afford a Wavetrac and installation.

You and I have arrived at almost the same destination by two different routes.

I'm waiting on sways, and you on the bracing.

I guess I was able to feel more because I only had the springs done to the car vs your struts/sways/springs.

Its been nice to do everything one by one and eliminate quirks and characteristics that show after one has been eliminated.

Back roads are flat out scary now. Holy chit.

K04 is quite a bit to handle on twisty small two lanes. You have to be super careful with the throttle or else you spit yourself off the rosd

Wait, isn't that the point?
I live in twisty, hilly, 2-lane highway country.

Can't wait to have my SB stg 3 next week so she'll finally hold the power down

I find these interesting because of the location. Are they easy to take out if needed?

4 Allen bolts and she's out. Super easy.

I think you would really benefit from this John as you do a lot of track days.

Honestly I don,t see why people whine about the XB compromising the hatch. If I am going to haul something long, I know about it in advance, pull out the allen wrench and pull out the XB, 4 screws 5 mins max. I may have removed it 4 times or so in the last year. I keep the wrench in the hatch in the foam compartment so the I can take it out on the road if I have to. If you only want it in for track days then just keep it out on a regular basis and install at the same time as your track wheels. When I first installed the XB I f'ed up one of the nutserts and only had three screws holding it in. In any corner you could hear the XB creak as it was transferring loads. The creaking went away as soon as I got a replacement nutsert and the car felt much stiffer. I know noize doesn't think it is a good bang for the buck, but I don't regret it all.
