Pros: Cheap, relieves torque steer
Cons: Hard to install

This is another one of those last step mods. If you are suffering from torque steer this will cure your problems. It connects the right and left lower control arms together tokeep the suspension more stiff.
This is hard to install as you will have a hard time fitting a socket in the piece to tighten down the bolts. It will fit on one side, but not the other. What I ended up doin was jamming a screwdriver bit in to keep the bolt from moving, and then tightening the nut on the backside. After that was done I was unable to remove the screwdriver bit!! It ended up falling out on the road somewhere.
Other than the interesting install, this is a good product, but focus first on the other main suspension elements.

Pros: Pulls suspension together, especially if you have other suspenion mods
Cons: May be difficult to install without air tools

I just wanted to add on to Pio\'s review.

The hardest part of the install for us was breaking the bolts loose where the LTB will be installed. They are on there really good. We had my car on jackstands and used a breaker bar with a extended socket. The problem was space, its hard to work with a breaker bar in that tight of a space. If we had a lift, it would have been cake.

Also, on tightening the bolts back up, Pio Pio did it a bit funky (but if it works, it works). You need to hold the nut on the backside of the bolt with a pair of pliers, lockjaws, etc. while you tighten the bolt from the front. You\'ll need an extended socket too in order to tighten because the bolt is recessed inside the LTB where it connects to the car. If you have just a \"bit\" better than basic tools/skills you\'ll be fine.

Install time for my brother and I: 20-30 minutes

Pros: simple install, took less than 30 minutes w/ breaker bar
Cons: stock bolts are on pretty tight. street feel is much less forgiving

install of this part was very easy with a breaker bar, a socket wrench and a torque wrench, though working around the oil pan was a bit tricky. tightens up cornering considerably by reducing body roll, but makes the car react very differently to sharp bumps in the road (both sides of the car react to a bump on one side of the car).

greatly recommended low-cost upgrade for tying the suspension together.
