Strut Bar Question

[conradtan]

WOW! A part you ACTUALLY approve of! Hehe... I think its a first from you Jim! Well here's the thing, I have $100 credit at that place. I either use it or lose it. Do you know exactly the difficulties I'm facing should I order the strut from them? I realize that's difficult to find out.

My car has 145k miles on it, and creeked a little bit, after installing a front strut brace the creakes have 95% disapeared.

I recomend one on higher mileage cars just for that reason.

Group buy - does that equal some savings? If so, I'm in!

Installed only the front Schell shock tower brace so far. Very easy, no problems with fit etc. Looks decent in black, decent price. Front end tighter for sure. Have not yet ordered the rear brace just yet as I am not sure the back really needs it but am open to suggestions.

I think I read somewhere that the rear strut tower was a was a waste of your hard earned dollars. It was the Boxster Racing Board. The general opinion was that the rear strut area was extremely strong and wouldn't benefit from the additional brace. I'm sure there are various opinions on this. My wife bought me a Schnell front and rear brace for Christmas last year and while I noticed a huge difference when I put the front on I did not notice any difference at all with the rear brace. So I took it off, then put it back on, then took it off again and I could not notice a difference either way. Considering it was a gift from the wife it is back on for good now. Getting only the front brace was a smart move. As mentioned the rear Schnell brace is a pain in the ass to install. Now if you want to really experience a difference put some coilovers on that puppy and get an aggressive alignment!

It is but you can usually find it cheapest from Vertex in their eBay auctions. I think my wife paid $139.00 for mine.
