Front Strut Tower Braces

[mainstang]

Are they worth messing with. Do they give you significantly better handling.

 

[TurboMirage]

only if you get solid ones. the ones with joints in them are worthless.

i welded the joints on mine to make them solid.

yeah get solid ones,, you also get what you pay for. look for something that goes to the fire wall.

 

[TurboMirage]

3-point braces for civics are rare.

you are good enough with a solid one that goes from tower to tower, or a welded one as i have.

he is putting it on a stang ,so he can get a h-brace and for those cars pretty cheap..

 

[mainstang]

no, im putting on my civic. I have a classic mustang, may consider fabricating one for it if they work good enough.

Could you tell a difference after putting it on???

 

[tunedhonda-ata]

on my civic i changed everything at once but i think it helps a little but not as much as some good springs shocks and tires

 

[TurboMirage]

as a whole not a noticeable difference, but with other mods (shocks/springs/sways) that make you handle better they become more needed.

If you're into autoX don't do a 3pt bar. 3pt bars are illegal in almost all classes. I think it may be legal in the prepared classes, but there you're going to be competing against full race ready vehicals.

 

[TurboMirage]

agreed.

this is why i should be running one.

then again, i am in a prepared class in a race-ready vehicle

I agree. Solid bar all the way. I have a my stock solid bar on the front, and a jdm knock off one for the rear. Car feels great doing 70-80 down lightly curved offramps.
