Default MM strut tower brace

Does anyone have one on their car and does it make a noticable difference? I will buying H&R ss springs, Tokico shocks, MM c/c plates and I was wondering if MM's strut tower brace would be a good idea also. I will probably never be on a race track but for $135 it may still stiffen it up for around town and twisty-road driving.

Ive got one and love it. It made a night and day difference on my car. Made the front end feel stiff and solid. MM makes them nice and beefy too.

I'm thinking it wouldn't be a bad investment for a reasonable price, and I'm doing suspension work anyway.

x2 mm makes some really nice components, I have the full length powder coated sfc's and would recommend getting those as the first mod to any sn-95 coupe

Do subframe connectors just make the rear of the car more rigid?

it ties the front ant rear of the car together, the stb's for the front and rear only tie the left and right side together.

Ok, thanks for the info. I don't think I'll have enough cash for subframe connectors right now but I'll definately keep it in mind for a future mod.

Actually, subframe connectors aren't as expensive as I thought they would be. Maybe I'll wait on shocks and struts and get the subframe connectors instead. I would wrather wait and get Bilstien shocks and struts anyway. I can only imagine how much better my car would handle with all of those suspension/chassis mods, along with the BFG KDW2s.

they're only like an extra 100 bucks...i'd rather have the SF connectors before the STB
