  • Rear strut tower brace?

    so im making really good progress with the weight reduction...i got the carpet out...and now (if i take those little white cussions off) the bolts to the top of my rear struts are exposed...i was wondering if they make a rear strut brace for our cars or a universal one that would work?...where would i get it?...and would this help the launch at all?

    it won't help anything really. the only time there is any major amount fo stress on the upper shock mount is when you have coil overs, even then you would have to be leaving pretty darn hard to need any help.
    at that point i would think a cage/roll bar woudl be teh answer.

    later

      Ya -- not as important with a solid rear out back.

      Roll bars are fun though! [img]smile.gif[/img] Like in-cabin SFCs.

        And the "meat" of our suspension is really in the control arms, torque arm, sway bar, and panhard rod, not the shocks. Correct me if I'm wrong.
