Does anyone know why Porsche doesn't put these sort of braces in from the factory from the get go? I went to a local PCA tech session at an indy shop that makes money from installing performance add ons, and the one thing that kind of surprised me during the lecture by the owner of the shop was that he said, "be wary of some of these "performance enhancing" add ons....if Porsche thought a simple, inexpensive metal rod connecting the struts would help improve the car's handling, believe me, they certainly would have put it in from the start."

The same reason they put in the CRAPPY INTERIOR PLASTIC TRIM and sun visors that fall apart if you actually use them, and the foam in the heating vents that comes out every time you put the fan on, cup holders that need to be handled with surgical gloves or they'll fall apart etc..etc..etc.. :mad:

Answere, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$

Like Jim Says, Hope This Helps :D

Porsche does build strut bracing into the Boxster. Do a search on PCA.org about strut braces. I know that at least on the Boxster S they are apparantly not necessary due to the way Porsche integrated that bracing function into the firewall car frame. And I don't think the "S" has a different body frame from the non "S".

or why did they only give us so few HP?
