maybe dumb question?

If you get a "wonderbar" would it be stupid to get a strut brace as well? Do they do the same thing? I have just heard about these wonderbars and I'm not quite sure if you need both.

They serve different functions. The wonder bar (aka steering brace) supports the area of the frame where strong steering forces are transmitted. The STB ties in the strut mounts and greatly reduces the excessive front end torsion seen in these cars. These mods are great but should not be done unless you have sub frame connectors.

Thanks for the info, that's what I thought. I am getting subframeconnectors from TDS and a wonder bar first thing in the spring when I can drive it again.
