Thoughts on strut tower brace....
I have a UMI set up on the back of my car and a strut brace on the front, I wanted to know if anyone has any thoughts on if a strut brace will slow a car down drag racing or if would make any difference at all, I took the front sway bar off and now I'm wondering if I'm hurting my times with the brace. Thanks for your input.

My old 3 point (sold it) made no diff in handling and others will tell you the same thing. Now when I put the double diamond subframe connectors on it made a world of difference.

What most forget is if you don't have the suspension and tires to accommodate a STB then you will be doing nothing you will notice. It must be taken into consideration that even though the main purpose of the brace is to increase rigidity on the strut towers it is also to aide in keeping stress of the many spot welds assisting in a rattle free chassis over time.

My take as mentioned, subframe makes a big difference, strut tower brace is pretty much a waste of time. I wouldn't say so if I hadn't tried it. Even the chassis experts will tell you to spend that money elsewhere and leave that mod for last if at all. But if it makes you happy, go for it. I don't let others dictate my mod choices either.

Thanks for all the input, I got the thing when I bought my other car and just stuck it on the my car so no cost really. But the wheels in the air is not a problem lol, one day maybe.
