Can anyone measure the distance to the center of the bolts of the strut towers? I wanted to make sure the distance was correct and it wasnt off and then i could hsve a strut tower brace measured to make sure its the right one without trying to fit it on the car first since i dont have it lol. Its a odd question i know but should be a easy answer. I just want to make sure my car isnt twisted somehow or something, let me know, thanks

 

Wrong forum.... moving.

 

Fourthgens do not have struts, they have shocks.

Shock tower braces are mainly an aesthetic mod on fourthgens, and do little to nothing to improve your vehicle.

If you install one make sure it is not one that has rod ends as they defeat the purpose (e.g. Hotchkis).

I will measure one of my cars later today when I get dressed, but you will also need to know the angle that the mounting plates will need to be at.

 

i know but thats what most people know them by and call it lol.
Well i just need a close measurement ... if i knew anyone locally id ask them to measure...... im sure someone had to measure this already lol...

 

if the brace is purely aesthetic, then there is no purpose to defeat

 

Agreed, just pointing that out.

I am not saying there is no flex, especially with grippy tires and suspension. These cars are camber limited, and if the loaded side flexes, you will gain negative camber on the loaded wheel, which is a good thing for almost all F-bodies.

My T/A has worn out 48 R-compound tires in 43k miles and 81 days on the track. SFC's were welded on when it was a stock baby. It is rattle free so I assume no ill effects from not having a STB.

 

if you do put it in and bend your ac lines out of the way dont forget to bend them back before your alternator cuts the line. replacing the line and the small gaskets on the back of the compressor are a giant PITA. i have an unused slp if your really interested.

I get 31.5 in between the inner bolts, hope that's what you were after.

 

thanks alot that should be the measurement i need... just need to go check mine... thanks for the reply

 

They're not purely asthetic. They make a great microfiber towl rack. Close the hood and run the engine and you have a drier.
