do the things do anything? i have woundered before on other cars if strut braces will realy tighten handling or are they crap

 

yes, my old honda used to understeer, after putting on a strut brace it was much tighter and endersteered less, i bet if i put one on the rear i could have probably got it to oversteer a bit.

 

they're not really useful until you have sway bars/suspension/sticky tires, and at that point they help prevent the second firewall from cracking. You probably wont notice a difference in handling, I've heard that the B5 is an insanely stiff chassis already.

 

Can anyone recommend good strut bars for a 2.8 V6 B5?

 

purems has one. Another company is talking about making one styled after the lltek brace that was discontinued, I cant remember the name right now though.

 

Thanks!
