    my car creaks badly going up and down my driveway diagonally, it seems like the whole car just twists ...would strut braces anywhere just concentrate the flexion somewhere else at a weaker point or would they just make the suspension do more work?

    this one time, i had my hand out the window and on the roof when i was taking a corner and i could feel the top of the door flex and move, i get the feeling if i got front and rear strut braces the front and rear would be solid but going up and down my driveway the car would twist more in the middle.

    Hey Manz - have you had any takers yet for the second brace?
    I might just be interested.
    Cheers,

    nah i def heard they had flimsy bodies, but i've never heard of people all having this same creaking issue! anyone know more about it???

    if the brace would fix it, i'd consider it if i didn't have stupid amps bolted to my rear seat...
