    It's hard to get a pic that shows all of them... I'll see if I can dig one up.

    EDIT: found



    There's also a Jay's floor bar in front of the back seats...
    Wow! OCD!

      one of ther major selling points of the DC5 was the over 100% increase (yes, one hundred per cent) in torsional rigidity over the DC2R... http://www.integradc5.com/features/

      in addition, the OP has a pre-98 VTiR - which had none of the chassis rigidity modifications the 98+ cars had...

      and yes, adding a x-brace (seat-belt bolt to strut tops) to my DC2 for supersprinting massively improved rigidity and required a change to suspension and alignment settings.

      i also added front fender braces, which also helped.

      What brand X brace and fender brace you use?

          Ok thanks. Do you just use the X brace or do you use it with the horizontal bars at the strut and c pillar?
