honest question...as ive never understood the strut tower braces..does it really make that much differance?!?!?! and i mean on the STREET not the track
i mean i guess if the chassis flexes easy then sure...but the the only other strut rig ive owned and hooned was an 89 factory turbo dodge caravan (SWB) and those towers did NOT move and i drove it like i was on an autox on every street i could...that thing didnt know what flex was up front...out back well....it was leafsprun and twisty out back |

honest answer... it's bling factor when you pop the hood.

thats kinda what i figured...
with all the hard hilly twistys ive been sent on as of late im finnaly starting to feel the lack of rear sway...lugging 100lbs+ back there and its not so bad..but runnin those same curves empty and you feel it roll around i always assumed the tower braces were bling n track i suspect youll get more flex from the control arms up front and the trailing arms out back long before any amount of chassis deflection rears its head tho i question on the 5dr's about any frame rail connectors... |

It makes my 9 horsepower 1NZ-FE look fast.
