Default REAR Strut Tower BRACE....anybody running one???

Thinking about getting one of the above, but wanted to get member input as to effectiveness, handling improvement, and ride.

Thanks in advance,

I also would like to know. And i'd like to get a b-pillar bar to mount a harness to so I can loose these monster seats!

All that little suspension stuff adds up if your on the track, even a kars bar and cradle bushings hlep handling and thats not what even they are made for.

But as far as a rear strut bar I dont think you would notice the differance on the street. Its more of a show-mod on our car.

What brand are you running? Where did you find it for 100 bones?

Anybody make one that can be easily removed for extra trunk room?

its the same one now the Luke @ Lindsey is selling
maybe it was $125-$150 cant remember exactly...its been a couple of years

it doesn take that much room from the trunk as it sits up against the rear seats

It's removable (not easy) I leave it in all the time
most of the time on install of the careful triming of the grey liner material
