around 300 bucks, and from what i heard, the install isn't too hard but it's not too obvious sometimes

by comparison the rear brace is a lot harder (again from what people told me)

Yep, around $300. Would normally have picked them up from Steve but would have took a while [slow boat, ya know]. Did not install them myself but not a hard install if you have a lift. My exhaust had to be unbolted to access a few of the mounting points.

No degradation of ride comfort. It will probably be another 2-3 weeks before I can take the car out and drive it hard, want to take it easy on the paint at least until after EOS V3.

cool, i am glad that there is not much degrade on the ride. i am still debating whether i should get the 6 link down the road, considering that i already KNOW it's going to hit my exhaust. i just fixed my tiny exhaust rattling with some other unrevealed stuff, so i don't want to hear another clunk clunk sound again for a while
