My car has stock tires, shocks, a Mishimoto trunk brace and Cobb Stage 1+.

Got the entire Pierce package installed in 2 hours (not familiar with this platform quite yet).

I could tell a difference going down my bumpy driveway; the suspension seemed to soak up the bumps better, and the car just felt more solid (really? I just added 3 braces, go figure).

I took the car out to a familiar road to get a feel for the subtle differences. Not subtle at all- the car tracks much more flat, and it does in fact make the suspension work as designed. I didn't have the opportunity to test the response some have mentioned about additional oversteer, but I may have a different driving style. Pouring on the throttle through a fast apex would usually make the rear slide slightly; now it just stays planted and turns. Love it. This kit works, period.

I've owned a 430 whp JDM STi (now racing at Barber Motorsports by Frank Aragaki) and this car is my favorite- though certainly not fast per se, so much more predictable and smooth through the corners.

Nice job Pierce Motorsports.

The street package is the rear torsion, 2 point up front, and strut tower bars?

This winter I was planning on getting the first two, as I heard the strut brace doesn't really do much.

Yes.

There is a even better review on here that describes the sole effect of the torsion bar. Some say it increases oversteer; I didn't notice that effect but I don't track or AX my car.
