Strut tower braces don't really make much difference. You're better off upgrading your sway bars. Now if you upgrade the sway bars and add coilovers, then the strut tower braces are worth adding to eek out that last little bit of improvement. On a stock suspension though, don't waste your money.

+1.....evosport also carries the correct coilovers or springs for your (the OP) vehicle

Waste of money, time, and weight.

Only required when you run ludicrous front spring rates for road racing, which NOBODY currently makes for the C32.

See yeah

+1 and it also makes a ***** of effort when it comes to changing filters.

how low is your kw setup?

i have pretty even wear on my front tires at the ride height i'm running. 2/3 to 1 finger gap on the front. don't remember what my front camber spec is tho.
