how much difference will i be able to tell with a strut tower brace on my car? i bought it for $16, so it's no loss to me...just wondering. i am gonna put it on in a week or so, i just wanna know if i'll feel any difference?

 

you will notice some, but it will take solid strut mounts to make the most difference.

 

can i welt it to make it a solid mount? i have access to a weld machine

 

no he means haveing solid strut mounts without the rubber bushings in them. the bushings flex alowing the strut to deflect undercornering forces. the STB will help but will only take out what little deflection there is in the strut towers not the rubber deflection. you would need something like these http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1542 to see much difference.

 

are those spohn ones (that differ from gm ones) made for coilovers only....they have a pic with a coil over thats why I ask..

 

when they first came out, he had no coil-overs shown with them.

Call n make sure, but I'm 99% sure they will work as normal mounts as well.

 

I just realized that he also has stock replacement ones that are stock height but have a solid mount. those are 1" higher to allow for extra travel on lowered cars.

 

They will work as stock replacement strut mounts... I have them on my Z with coil springs. I haven't driven the car yet though to feel a difference.
