Also sold mine 2 weeks ago after 6 years of ownership, sad day. Was such a fun, deceptively quick car to drive! However the new car has exceeded my expectations so far
Cheers for all the information you guys have passed on over the years, air intakes, suspension, tunes, cosmetics, cubby holders, etc etc etc.. Awesome information that really opened up the potential of this car!!

Installed a Forge rear strut brace on the weekend. Install was pretty straight forward and was completed in about an hour.
Chassis feels noticeably more rigid which I could tell straight away even from reversing down my driveway. Overall grip levels seem like they have also improved...mid corner body roll is a lot less noticeable and the car feels a bit grippier...turn in has also improved and feels more responsive and direct!
I know a lot of people dismiss strut braces as "bling" and useless pieces of metal that bolt on and do nothing but trust me, they do.
And all this at normal suburban 40-50km/h speeds...can't wait to test it on the track!
Nice. Any photos? Is this the one that you have to bolt to the rear suspension towers?
-edit-
found the guide, I don't remember there being a good option for a removable rear bar... makes me want one...
Cant seem to find it on the Forge website.

I installed my rear strut brace about a month ago. Honestly i didn't really notice that much of a difference compared to the Front strut brace or RSB. maybe its because my pog is pretty stiff already but hopefully nationals will prove me wrong

Fitted my newly acquired N75J valve, and now it won't boost over 10lb (I have an APR tune). Any ideas??
