i was thinking of replacing my stock strut tower bar for the purpose of looks only, will my handeling change, or are most struts the same?

 

if a car comes w/ a strut bar stock, youre really not going to notice a difference changing it out.

in other words, prolly not.

 

i agree, probably be the same as stock....not sure about the CF ones though...like JIC......

 

it will handle exactly the same...purely aesthetics (or for clearance issues, for those of us with aftermarket hoods)

 

what about if you take it out?

will that really affect anything?

 

The strut tower brace keeps the strut towers from flexing under turning load........changing the camber minutely.........after many miles the towers bend inward creating more negative static camber............thinner lighter weight metal in the towers construction can be compensated for by STB.

 

there are many other ways to make your car stand out in terms of asthetics...don't waste money changing out a strut bar that your car already came with. It's a great OEM design as it is a hollow design filled with a polyurethane center

 

it will only have effect on looks, handling will be same
