MP Performance rack clamp & brace - my impressions

Installed it this morning and took about 2 hours only because I made 4 trips to the hardware store for hardware (mine got lost in the shipping process, no fault of MPP -- the container got damaged and broke open in transit).
Installation was pretty simple, I think it can be done without too much instruction only because the parts seem to fit very specifically. I have 16" wheels and accessing the bolt in the wheel well was very easy. I bet it can be reached with the 17" wheels as well just as easy. Also, I used a socket to tighten this bolt in the engine bay while holding a monkey wrench on the other end of the bolt in the wheel well. Pretty tricky to accomplish, but it worked out.
Steering seems much more "controlled", not so "jerky" coming out of the turns. Other than that, it seems to be doing the job very well. I recommend to anyone with a lead foot and a Saab get one of these to help with accelerating out of turns with this. It makes it MUCH more managable!
Next mods might be an SMBC and sport exhaust.
