Default Strut Brace on your Vert?
Been reading the strut tower braces are most beneficial to us verts... any of you using them and have you noticed a substantial handling difference?

Well, I ordered mine from Blue Oval Industries and I am waiting its arrival. BUT, I bought it because of its looks, I do not think it does anything for us.....

I have the Edelbrock Strut Tower Brace and noticed the difference right away.
Less shaking of front end over bumpy roads.

Well, guess what...just got an email that it's backordered and they (Blue Oval Industries) are clueless as to when they are going to get a new shipment, so I cancelled the order....

When I had a Civic I had installed one and it made the car feel a little stiffer in the front end. I plan on installing one on my vert soon.

Mine came with my new 08 Steeda. Not sure how much of a difference it makes!

I have one on my 92 GT Vert and it made a difference in the handling.
