Strut tower brace

[wingnut12]

I did a search, and only came up with ones for sale. I hear that they are supposed to tighten the front end a bit, but do they show any noticeable improvement in handling, or do people typically get them because they look 'cool'?

Thanks

When I installed my strut tower bar kit it made a small but noticeable improvement in handling. I recommend installing one. I don't know why anyone would add one just to look 'cool' because most of the time it wouldn't be visible.

My CP racing strut tower brace made a definate difference over the stock bar. Tracking on the freeway and turn-in was improved.

Turn in is the biggest improvement you're going to see; My WRX is totally stock, except for the strut tower brace, and the reason for that was that the turn in sucked in comparison to the Protege5, with just it's dinky stock brace. I'm thinking about picking up the brace from CP Racing at some point, when I have $150 to spare. Hehe.

it works and its cheap.. a lil tough to put on though, wasnt a perfect fit around the bolts on strut, but i got it on, and it works fine..

oo, and it is pretty shinny too, lol

Thanks guys.

Now that I know I need one, who makes them?

And do they ship to Canada?

They are less than an hour from where I live. I couldn't see the part for my car, but I'll send them an e-mail and keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks again.

I really like my CP racing brace, but be aware that you'll have to drill to install it. Also, if you have cruise control make sure they send you a bracket for the CC unit. ;)
