SLP strut tower brace
It's been on the car for about 30k miles. It's extra weight I don't need on there, unless it actually does help in drag racing too. Anyone know if it's useful other than cornering? $75
Sold, pending pickup

You speak lies..............It would be beneficial if your car is coming down from a wheelie it would help hold the struts shape and not let them flex inword or outword.

Those tower braces are a joke, if it pinches inward all it would do would make the brace curve up even more. The arched shape of the wheel well/struts are 10x stronger then a flimsy piece of metal.

I'll add more garbage. I'd say keep the stb on there and take off the front sway bar (if you haven't arleady). I noticed on my old car that with the sway bar removed the front end got a little sloppy at high speeds, but when I added a stb that weighs a fraction of what the sway bar does it stabalized the front a bit at those high speeds, but.... whateva... : )
