no harm done mate, umm my car has the factory strut brace and when I asked the old boy about his opinion he said " it's not like your racing at the track, you will never need it" so I didn't go baring hunting for one

It'll make it start to oversteer and allow you to go around corners heaps more aggressively. But it can also get you into trouble which is why they don't put them on stock, cause they figure people will oversteer and spin out. But worth the money! Forgot you have a v6! With strut brace already.

ahh ok guy I'll keep that in mind, though do you think the oversteer is needed for everyday driving ?

no. and none of the mods you currently have are needed for everyday driving either... i also think the oversteer aspect was exaggerrated a little earlier also. the BA astinas, (both I4 and V6) have massive front sway bars. you'd have to be doing some really poor driving and unsettling the car to find you can oversteer it after a 20mm rear swaybar is fitted.

Well I need those few things to keep me happy... How many of you guys actually use your car as a everyday driver?

The same reason I've done the LED strip, it makes me smile seeing it reflected in other cars.
