The addition of weight to the car is likely a consequence of adding strength. How can one say that the S13 is strong enough? Many have reported handling improvements with the addition of strut bars, braces (i.e. the Nismo power brace) and the like; isn't that a sign that the base design of the S13 is not stiff enough?

But would'nt adding ant type of strut brace or support strengthen the car? You're talking about adding weight, but mention a 2-5 pound bar. I guess what I'm trying to say is can't any car be improved by the addition of braces? Even cars such as the GT40's structural integrity are improved before being thrown onto any professional circuit.

Well said.......if anyone thinks that my turbo s14 is a grandma car....then there just out of line..........correct me if I’m wrong, but when is the last time you seen a grandma drive by in a clean s14………I never have.
