Non adjustable STB worthless?
So the other day I heard someone say that non adjustable Strut tower braces do absolutely nothing for a car. When I put mine on I noticed a difference. What's your take on this? I call BS, but this guy seemed pretty adamant.

I would imagine, that if your car's engine bay has "sagged" a little due to time and spirited driving, and you were able to measure this change on an accurate frame machine, an adjustable STB could bring the car back to spec. It might put a strong load on the upper strut mounting bolts while doing this, however...

As a vert owner, I need all the extra stiffness I can get. Adjustable seems only necessary in certain instances. Non-adjustable works fine on a stock application. Everyone is an expert. Let the A**hole have his opinion. STB-dumdumdum

Although I'm going to guess that you just experienced a placebo effect. Some people are too afraid to admit they bought a part and found out it did nothing.

Unless your chassis is falling apart, you won't notice a thing. The STB doesn't do anything especially in the handling department.

I've heard that on the 3rd gen it makes a huge difference.
