Hey guys, search is busted, so:

Could you feel a difference after you installed you strut tower brace? What kind of improvements did you notice??

Also: What kind of clearance should you have between the bar and the engine?

Thanks for any info!

steering response is more quick and crisp also when taking turns you notice the front end being less...I dono how to explain it...loose? It just makes the car feel more togehter and as one.

Thanks revlimit, you certainly must know a lot about steering response because of your crazy drifting sessions!

A big difference going over rough roads with bumps here and there and what REVLIMIT already said.

The Steering brace was the single biggest thing I noticed...

Cool, I can't wait to give it a try!

Does anyone know much much clearance I should have between the bar and the air cleaner??
