Viva Suspension Braces... anyone used them??

Just picked up an 04 S60 AWD and I love the ride but... it wallows a bit with the minor "spirited" driving I do. Has anyone used the suspension braces that Viva Performance offers and what did you think? Are there any other brands of braces out there you have tried with good results?

I'm looking at the front and rear lower braces as well as the strut bar rigid mounts.

I have no info on the braces, but I would first get a set of IPD sway bars to tame the wallow. A much bigger bang for the buck.

Good luck.

I have both on my s80 and they work very well! You may want to upgrade the sway bars with them though. All in all they provide a much flatter turn and a sportier feel for not too much $$

Thanks for the recommendations guys. Sway bars are on the list as well.

Just put the front and rear braces on and it is a world of difference. No more wiggle from the rear and the front feels more planted. Only a slight increase in NVH noticed over sharp expansion bumps. Still very comfortable and now much more predictable when driving vigorously. Worth every penny to me.
