There is NO documentation of any kind available that a strut tower bart improves cornering on a 5ht Gen. None.



Simons has discovered slipping suspension-member attachments and steering linkages sending false signals to the driver. Once, a race car’s control arm collapsed when subjected to normal cornering loads. His K&C machine has helped teams determine why one race car responds quickly to setup adjustments even as its identically constructed stablemate is a cranky handful. Simons adds that he’s never seen an aftermarket strut-tower brace provide a measurable handling benefit.

This article is spot on and in 100% agreement with our experience on the 5th Gen.

If you like the look of a strut tower bar, install one. If you want to improve handling, don't waste your money on a strut tower bar.
Interesting....

I liked the 4 point BMR, but after reading this, I think I'll pass.

So do you have a parts list of upgrades that'll make a 2010 SS handle better? At least like a 1LE?
