i definatly suggest strut tower braces-- for the cost its an excellent suspension upgrade- you should notice a difference the moment you take your first turn- structural integrity is key when getting involved in tuning suspension- with less body flex your changes to suspension become more noticable. when accompanied by coilover setup and adjustable dampning, your changes will be more consistant and fine tuning easier. and to answer the question of will it block your rear view- no it wont they run straight across in the rear, from shock tower to shocktower you can get anodized aluminum bars, polished bars or carbonfiber bars.
