I noticed an improvement with the Croxx plate over the factory tie bars (I have a 3" downpipe and the fit is perfect).

Why do you want the front strut bar? It doesn't add rigidity over the stock bar. The rear bar, on the other hand will help. Unlike most rear bars it lacks hinges. Note that the Ralliart rear bar also lacks hinges.

I have both the front and rear strut braces, all I can say is WOW!!!! I am a perfectionist and an engineer (a combonation to drive you crazy) but I was well impressed by the quality, finish and service of all my works products. WORKS has possibly the best parts available on the Planet.

Here is a better pic of the front brace for you, and one of the rear

Looks like some nice pieces there but there seem to be some alternatives to doing them that will have greater effect on your cars handling but if you want to do everything possible then these are a great option...

Everything I've read is that it makes a small but positive difference. Seems worth it for the $35 cost.

I did the cut out myself, the rubber is "U" shaped rubber edging (for lining the edging of steel sheets etc). Didn't come with the rubber, got it from the local hardware store.

I'll take a pic of it and post it so you can get a better idea of the profile.

Cut out is bg so I can adjust the coilovers dampning.
