Want a GM strut tower bar, but have a 2010? *LOOK INSIDE*

ckaram · 06-05-2011, 05:28 PM

Will it make a diff on a bonestock V6? Probably not, but it looks cool.

A very nice look indeed.

Flat black is a nice touch. If I ever need to take mine off I might do the same

So the strut bar makes the front more stable? Say you already have fronts sway (aftermarket) bars the strut bar just provides that extra stabilty?

Sorry for the thread jacking

The strut tower brace will prevent the strut towers from deflecting durring hard cornering. For street purposes it is mostly useless except for looking cool. For track purposes on a modified car that can be adjusted (sway bar pre loading, camber, caster, coilover preload etc.) it will help in allowing you to fine tune your track setups and will be much more repeatable.

They do look pretty cool,IMHO . So glad my '11 was a later-built . They look naked without them .
