Well, it would appear that people say it improves handling in both Straight-lin and around Corners? I can only see that it would add a bit more rigidity but? If you feel that you can afford to buy it, why not? It sure wont hurt and I think the main drawback would be if you had to do any ENGINE work? then you would have to take it off?

Just a question, is it Adjustable? seems there is a little bit of difference of opinion about that?
