Default UGO Front STB Arrived, Installed, Tested

Ahh very nice. This thing is light as hell!! Strong too, easy to pop on.
Honestly, I can't wait to get sways on my car cause the improvement was very noticable for me. I drive fast and often make quick turns and this is where this mod does its work.

Very nice Bren. Do you only notice a difference at high speeds?

Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone know how the cross-member (heh, he said "member") of this UGO unit (heh, he said "unit") is constructed? Is the CF real or faked? Is there a steel tube underneath the CF skin?

Domo.

Thanks guys!

Yeah Paul, got it from Carson. Got the last one in stock at the time too! Yay
Sways & wheels in December Can't wait!

Brian -- At high speeds yes, but only in quick turns or going over uneven big bumps that have a turn with them. Makes me feel more confident driving and turning!

There's a 90 degree turn that I normally do at about 10mph into my neighborhood. Now I do it at 35 easily without a big *** BODY SHAKE when I straighten up.

Suspension mods should be done first!!!

Yeah this was the most expensive carwash ever. Well, engine wash that is. $300.

Brendan...looking good.

I cleaned my engine with a power washer and simple green. You should look into that.
