3330, Rear Strut Brace
Posted by z1pp0, Jul-18-01 08:09 PM
Just finished installing my rear strut brace, i got a cheap one at espeedgogo.com. it fits pretty good. i took it out for a spin. i think i noticed a difference, seemed like there was less understeer, but that might just be my mind playing tricks on me, anyone else notice a difference when they installed a rear strutbrace?

They are a cheap but effective mod for any car. I think everyone should have them if they don't already.

Was the Rear Upper STB hard to install? Did you modify the plastic covers or just leave them off?

Yeah i am pretty sure i bought the turbo strut brace at ESPEEDGOGO.com. It was polished silver with blue ends. It fits pretty good the hatch cover rests on top of it when closed. i am gonna add some sort of padding to the metal bracing of the hatch cover so it doesnt scratch the bar or rattle. My dad has a bunch of woodworking tools in his garage so i drilled 2" diameter holes into the plastic peices. today i am gonna go buy some of the door trim they sell at the auto store (i read this idea in a past post about STBs) and line the holes with it to make a nice clean install. later

That's a great idea! I should do the same... Could you email me some pics when you get it done?
