I was going to include the butterfly brace but i didn't know if i should. I thought it might just be excessive. It's a little out of my price range for the time being, but i'll def. keep that in mind for down the line.
Most all '94-'05 already come from the factory with front and rear lower control arm braces. Since my car never came with any factory bracing I added the Racing Beat front lower control arm brace and FM Canon rear subframe brace. It did reduce the amount of shaking felt through the suspension when hitting bumps but it still isn't enough bracing for me. My next upgrade is going to be the FM butterfly brace for sure.
But if you'd rather not deal with the pain that a doorbar can be, the Butterfly Brace does work. I got to try it firsthand, and was absolutely amazed at the difference it made.
Would be sway bars be as effective as the FM sway? I'm currently in the market to make my car less rollcentric. I have Tokico Illuminas with FM springs on my ride.
On the stiffest setting on the shocks, I still get some massive amounts of roll on the track.
So I'm looking for something that is cost effective (saving up for those JIC FLT-A2s) for the time being while I go to track events (road racing).
