I've decided on getting the JIC lower arm bar and an underbody brace. I see Cusco has a version 1 and 2. Version 1, I'm assuming is the one in the parts database: http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=parts&itu=295
And version 2, I'm assuming is this one here: http://bulletproofautomotive.com/catalog-detail.php?ID=3905
Which one is better? I'm guessing version 2 but I just want to be sure. Thanks.

I have the JIC piece. It is a simple bolt on and torque down deal. To be honest it doesn't do jack. All the fuggin braces in the world are hardly ever going to make a real noticeable difference. The best thing you can do to improve handling is get some gooey tires.

I tend to agree with this statement. My strut tower brace is very beefy and I noticed no discernable difference from running without one. I hope I can notice more of a difference with the side tower braces that were just installed....we will see.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
