I pretty much stopped reading after the article suggested that springs should be replaced BEFORE dampers...

If you don't want people to just assume they're reading a long-winded advertisement, you might to put dampers FIRST on your list (especially when referencing the Gen 1).

Even if you disagree about whether they should be first, you can't possibly expect us to believe that we'd see more of a benefit from a bunch of tacked-on (some would argue redundant, at least for a couple of the parts) chassis braces than we would from a proper set of suspension dampers...
