I put on adjustable whitelines and set them both to firm. Greatly improved the handling and didn't noticeably change the ride comfort. You could probably save a few bucks and go the non-adjustables but I think I've read on these forums somewhere that the adjustables on firm give you an extra bit of stiffness (eg 22mm adjustable on firm gives you 23mm equivalent).

Don't know about the other stuff
Started with a Gen2 Outback, then got a MY07 GT Spec.B Manual w Cat Back Exhaust and Verso Tuned, now got 2 kids and a MY07 GT Auto Wagon, Ultrex stealth back exhaust, panel filter, Whiteline Sways all round, Spec.b struts and springs and Kido-Tuned.

"During hard braking will twist the toe board where the brake master cylinder is located, and this results in decreased brake pedal effort.

To improve the brake feel further, CUSCO recommend the master brake Cylinder stopper. What this is is a bolt-on unit that attaches to the back of the master brake Cylinder piston and the suspension tower to eliminate movement on heavy braking. Brake feel will improve as the master Cylinder does not flex anymore"

Google will answer most of your questions.
Is it worth it? For the extra $80-$100 yes many people agree it is value for money for tracking/harder driving. Normal street driving probably not that noticeable.
