      First off for our 4th gen guys its a shock tower brace bc 4th gens dont have struts, and anytime ive ever used them, i did notice a difference in the way the car reacts, not major, but as the same with any more the more power your pushing the more your going to feel mods. so if your all stock chances are the STB wont do a thing but if your pushing like 500 or more you should feel a noticable difference over nothing.

          a good strut tower brace is worth its weight in gold if you like to put it hard into the corners

                I'd give a couple bucks for one.

                      I have a UMI black STB for 4th gen v8 cars that was a return due to the guy buying it for a v6 without paying attention that it is only for v8s. A few light scratches under the bottom of it where it rested on the engine during trial fit.

                      $75 shipped

                        So when are you buying one, lol

                        I have one on my car and I like it.
                        I would like to think it helps but it's probibly more noticeable if you do a road course with a lot of cornering than any thing.

                                on my conv the stb in my opinion made a slight difference in the feel of my car firming it up a little on heavy cornering, i def think it is worth the 100, plus i like the look.
