I have sways front and rear. Just wondering how much a strut brace will help? Its it worth the $200????

 

Worth it??
For dressing up your engine bay and a little more tie-in to your suspension I'd say it's worth the $130 that I paid, and the Tanabe strut brace is fully adjustable

IDK about the AWD Sedan, but it is a functional (and minimal) suspension component on the RWD. Something makes me suspect its contribution is even more minimal on the AWD. In my opinion, if all you care about is the very small change it introduces to your car's handling, it's safe to say that $130 or less is totally worth it. If you care about that *and* engine bling, then $250 is worth it.

But really, the answer is relative to your personal economics and your automotive values. So there is no right or wrong response here.

Also, Hell Yes and Hell No are both extreme choices, neither of which applies. But given that's all you gave us... Hell Yes.

 

I like the marks it leaves on the engine cover and hood liner.

 

Go commando.

I actually have been for a few weeks.

 

I voted hell yes, aesthetically speaking, but I'll let you know functionally in a couple of weeks when it's on the G.

I'm waiting for the intake to arrive and then I'll put them both on.

To me the sways were the most noticeable difference. The strut bar was incremental at best but it's nice and shiny.

I abstain given the poll choices

 

Sharknado says Oh Hell Yes!!!

 

I've been thinking about getting one and all you guys are kind of pushing me towards one, lol. Maybe if one shows up on the classifieds.

 

I voted no. Ive had the Alutec one piece, the GT Spec, and the Cusco. Took them all off. These are for cosmetic purposes only. If you are concerned about increasing the stiffness and removing any flex on these cars, this should be the absolute last piece of suspension work. Coilovers, sways, and the other GT Spec braces work way better than a strut bar on these cars.

Everyone who voted yes will say its either worth it for the aesthetic purpose, or that they can "feel a difference with it on." In my opinion, its cosmetic only. Then its a matter of, is this for you when you open the hood, or others when you open the hood...and how often the hood is open.

 

Yes, but if you do it last, after sways and CO's, it's so very subtle that you probably can't tell it's there.

However, if you do it first... see what I mean?

The FSTB is very often a gateway mod. I say enjoy it as such.

 

Waste of money in my opinion. But value is subjective to the individual.

 

I just put on one my g37s and I definitely feel a difference. Especially sharp low speed turns. Front end just feels more secure. In fact, now the rear of the car doesn't feel as planted as the front.
In fact, I was so impressed it has me taking the next step for the sway bars.

 

Exactly. Gateway mod.
