If you guys want to consider my responses as "negative", then I'm sorry. I'm just trying to help prevent people from spending a lot of money on a bunch of worthless crap just because they think every "performance item" will actually improve performance.

I figure I've spent probably $15K on aftermarket parts that were labelled as performance upgrades over the years. Unfortunately, most of those "upgrades" slowed me down significantly. I figure my overall net performance difference is still negative, and I hope to spare you from such waste.

The IS is not a track car. IF your going to the track get a different car. The braces look sick. Little things like that don't hurt if you have the money. For daily driving you should notice something when your hitting those off ramps a little harder.

looks nice. So far I just got the upper strut I think I the below braces are next. The guys over at GT spec are very helpful. You gotta test it out on the track I guess.
