i have, since first responding to this thread gotten the cusco rear tower strut, rear latter, and rear power members. the back end is night/day difference. i also got the coltspeed front tower bar and it evened out the difference i was looking for to tighten up the car and still not have understeer. i will be replacing bushings next and if i still want to play with suspension i will go ahead and keep adding cusco parts.

note: the rear power member bars do require a little adjusting on the driver side one (at least on the 2010's. and finally i would recommend getting an alignment after those as you have to take off the tow nut to put them on, and this MAY cause an adjustment in tow.

so i know this is old, but what exactly do you think you'll be able to see in a vid in regards to chassis stiffness?

I would guess body roll.

body roll has nothing to do with chassis stiffness

I've got the cusco front sway bar adjustment brackets. They have three settings, soft, stock and hard.

Let's argue about this.

I say that it does, albeit indirectly. Stiffer chassis leads to more grip and better feedback to driver. Both of these lead to faster corner speeds. Faster corner speeds leads to more body roll by simple physics.
