Strut Tower Brace

Post by shane_c »

Is it worth it to get a strut tower brace? Where do you buy it? And what is the cost?

The Vibe's shock towers are very close to the firewall (very little flex) so a strut bar is mainly cosmetic. I have a DC Sports strut bar and paid $76.00 US. A better investment would be a Progress rear sway bar and a set of Teins S-Tech springs.

I have one and it looks nice, did not notice any diffference though.
