31035, Strut tower brace
Posted by xtremeroller, Jan-27-08 11:21 AM
Is there anything to really gain by installing a strut tower brace or is it mostly for show in the engine bay?

They reduce bodyroll during cornering.

Sorry venge, thats a sway bars primary function.
Most Strut bars are to box in the "frame". To make the Chassis more rigid so that there is less flex. WEll in theory.

It all depends on which one you buy..Most on ebay are so cheap and flimsy that they have little to no effect. Decent ones do make a noticeable difference though.
Ive got the neuspeed discontinued one and its a nice solid piece..

yeah a solid like the neuspeed is the best. if you do get an adjustable one, make sure and adjust it out(pushing on your strut towers, not pulling) alot of people adjust them wrong.
