Long time lurker. New member
I've been lurking the forum for a long time. Lots of useful information here.
Created an account a long time ago, but due to inactivity, it got automatically shut down.
I can't reset the old password on the old account so I had to create a new account.
I've got a Lancer 2008 ES since new. The only major repair I've had is for the ABS module and that was about 2 years ago.
My next upgrades:
* Head unit - purchased XSP-N1BT. (to be installed)
* Subwoofer (maybe)
* VRX wheels (maybe)
===
Here is my setup
Performace upgrade:
* Front adjustable strut bar (2017)
Utility upgrade:
* Rear view camera - rear view mirror mount - Dealer installed, after-market (2008)
* Tow bar - dealer install (~2009)
* Roof racks - self install (~2010)
* Center console GPS friction mount (2013)
* DRL. Self install (2015)
* 6.5" Speaker upgrade (2017)
* After market slim weather-shield all around - self install (2017)

Nice! Welcome to the club! I too was a lurker for a while until I thought stuff it lets comment haha, how has the strut bar been treating you in terms of handling?
We are all in it for the fun!

Pretty sure we were all lurkers at one stage.

So I bought it because I wanted to start enjoying my driving a bit more and hopefully solve the body roll problem.
I noticed some steering/handling improvements but it didn't fix my body roll problem.
For example, it's great around round-abouts or instances where there's a change in direction.
At a roundabout, you go slightly left, then half way through the roundabout, you turn right, then when you exit you turn left again.
I seem to be able to apply more consistent power throughout the roundabout than before.
I still get body roll (on 16" wheels) when going hard in a turn.
I imagine 18" wheels with wider tyres would solve part of this problem and maybe sway bars if I want to go more serious.

Yeah man, I think it's probably one of the best bang for buck performance upgrade you can make.
