Strut Tower Braces
I was just wondering if there is a difference in strut tower braces. Ever since your recent thread Chad, Ive just been thinking about maybe doing more suspension and handling to my car, since like you, I use mine more for daily driving other than racing. I found a couple on ebay, that were considerably cheaper than Ive seen before:
Decent:

Cheaper:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-9...spagenameZWDVW
Just wondering if there actually is a 'cheaper' version of these (meaning material, or crappier) or if the cheaper one would be just as good as the one thats 20 bucks more.
Im just throwing around ideas for the future.

I was reading a lot about it earlier on FTv6, and they said it makes a little difference, maybe more to some than others, but every little bit helps. They said they definitly wouldnt go with that option first, as its as much of an appearance mod as it is suspension.
I think I am going to get one though, its somthing to start with. A lot of people said they would go with shocks first. Does anyone know a good place to get them for my car?

y'all are crazy. Illinois and chicagoland area has THE ABSOLUTE WORST potholes ever. Wisconsin has awesome roads compared to the crap down here and we even have tollways that dont fix the roads after we give them 1.50 each way!!!
o BTW the guy that sold me the WS6 had a BMR STB on it and said he felt a big difference with just that
