CS Front Sway & Strut Bar & Crankshaft Pulley

What's better than to spend your tax money on car parts? =P Well I did it. I caved in and purchased the CS Front sway and front strut bar. OH! The lightweight crankshaft pulley also. It was Christmas in April for me this year. Well I will start off by saying. WOW! What a difference in response with all these parts installed. The pulley added that much needed push that the 2 lacked. Being almost 50% lighter than the stock, MOAR POWAHH! The torque just feels there when you need it now.  The engine hesitation on the first through second gear change nearly disappeared which was great.  This is going to be a great add for autocrossing. I really like it and would recommend everyone who owns a 2 to get it for a slight power increase.  Install and quality was great also.







One thing the 2 has a lot of is, body roll. Which both the front sway and strut bars have diminished so much of it. The car has a very good response with quick jerks of the wheel. Those is the passenger seat definitely do continue to feel some roll, but nothing race seats can't help =] =] (eventually). With the new tires included, taking turns are more grippy. The real test, of course, will be at the autocross track this spring.
