I bought the Ultra Racing upper strut mount brace a few weeks ago and love it so much I did some investigating and bought a lower middle brace too last night which is on its way to me now from the manufacturer (the bottom one):

If you buy directly from the manufacturer, a tab pops up (VIP Offer) on the right and it will give you 10% off...then if you like them on FB, you get another $5. Even with their sale, I saved close to $20 over Viva, buying this way directly. http://www.buyultraracing.com/251-volvo-s40-2007
Sometimes Ultra Racing has some deals on eBay too so if you're wanting one of these, there are some good deals out there!

Just curious if anyone else has added braces to their P1 vehicle? If you have, what is your impression?

Just found my rear endlinks are mush...
Ordered MOOG endlinks that have grease fittings from Rock Auto (better than Volvo!!)
And....a Rear Swaybar that is much beefier from Racing Beat (really for the Mazdaspeed 3 but fits our cars)!!
If any interest, I'll load pictures later. I'm excited about all of my upgrades to my S40 that I'm making!!
