Do I need the Strut tower Brace ? I know it looks good having it installed but do I really need it?

I paid $62 for one. Is that a good price

 

this is the one i got...

yea why not put it on for 62$. some can go for 100-150$, so yea you got a good deal. i heard steering response is better with them...i would also look into subframe connectors....boy what a difference around turns and driving around. these will keep you body straight with less creaks

 

cant hurt too much to have a shock tower brace. i have it, dunno exactly how much its helping. hard to tell between whats real and whats all in my head.

 

Wow that sure looks like a killer deal. Anyone else running these stbs? I can't really see there being a big difference among stbs, besides price.

 

Honestly I couldn't feel any difference really. Still probably good to have anyway.

 

Didn't notice any difference after installing mine. But for the $$ go for it !

 

Strut Bar and Sub-Frame Connectors (BMR) and I felt a difference..... Less flexing...

 

Put it in and see if you detect a difference. Then you'll know the answer.

 

A shock tower brace could be helpful, but a strut tower brace won't help. You don't have struts.

I'll move this to the chassis/suspension/strock forum

 

For side-to-side and normal driving, they will help a lot. It ties the front part of the frame together and prevents it from flexing. For drag racing, I'd skip it.

 

thanks guy for you input!

 

Just curious, how much would you say that one weighs?

 

Yup.. I like the tighter turns now that my SLP version is in. Watch out for the AC line during install.
