Non adjustable STB worthless?
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 heard it makes no difference to the handling of the car but does so to the appearance of the car. Some say they felt a small difference and others that felt a huge difference. I don't know what to make of it. I'm holding out on one and saving that dinero.

Farzinni what the hell is up man.. MY non adjustable STB did make a difference. I have seen the adjustable ones yet I dont understand why anyone would need one. Whoever said they dont make a difference is a weiner.

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.

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.
I can't even imagine why a car would need an adjustable strut tower brace, unles the chassis has been tweeked in a accident . . . . the strut towers, IMHO, shouldn't be adjustable . . .
