Here's My '15 EX

The OE bushings move all over the place. Which isn't a bad thing; it probably makes the car accelerate and brake straighter. I'm looking for better cornering characteristics. The rear torsion beam has these bushings too, which allows the whole thing to float around. These bushings are the reason I'm not really concerned with the out of spec toe-in. Not only is it possible the toe is out of spec because of something simple like pulling the car onto the alignment rack crooked and distorting the bushings, but even if it is out, the bushings will allow it to self align and correct itself.

Ah nice, noticeable difference w/ the brace? I'm going to pickup the Megan FSB, most likely that LTB, and the UR bars that fill in the rest of the gaps.
Wouldn't stiffened bumpstops only be effective if the rear is completely compressed and you're riding on them?

This brace is identical to Hardrace. I think they're one and the same.
I don't notice the brace, but I notice the bushings. Way more solid. I added the brace to support the added stress to the K member from the bushings.
As for bump stops, they're supplemental springs. The car rides on them stock. I stiffened the front one just a bit and I've been wanting to stiffen the back for a while. It doesn't ride pleasant but it handles more like a go-kart now than ever. It rides better overall than I anticipated. These jounces are STIFF.

i wouldn't be surprised. plus, there aren't many different iterations that can be designed to fit in same spot and bolt up the same way. btw, does this interfere at all with any of the aero body panels underneath?
interesting, i didn't notice when i yanked out the stock suspension and put in the coilovers. ill take a look when i switch to the koni+gcs

im not sure about dat front lip u got on... looks wrinkled up or something. the stock bumper pict u show is MUCH cleaner. i wouldve just kept it as is.
btw, with all these parts making ur car look fast, can u zip 0-60 in less than 6sec?

I happen to like the new lip - it looks sharp in white (I'm considering one for my MSM, but am thinking it won't have as much aesthetical effect in the darker color).
You're whole build is really looking great, in fact. I'm normally not a fan of all-black wheels, but your white letter tires make it work here.
I'll be running my first-ever AutoX in two weekends, and now I finally know what STF means! (c:
