Default Just won an eBay action for Tower Strut brace

I am looking forward to getting this and installing on the car, sounds like most people here agree that it is a good bolt on part.

My big question is weather or not I was bidding against fellow members? I buy alot off eBay and was wondering if others here do as well?

I don't mean to take away your enthusisam for your new part, but unless you are in to road racing you basically just gave away sixty bucks.

lol, when I bought some gt mufflers off of ebay, afterward I found out I was bidding against 2 other MF members. I outbid one member by 4 cents to win the auction!

Hmmm, I do not think there will be any - Official track time - as such, but one buddy just bought an 04 350Z and another bought (Ordered) a Saturn Redline. I plan on racing them on the twisty windy's where we normally race our bikes...

I am hoping every little purchase helps.

Eventually it will be a turbo of some sort, but for now it is easier to hide the under 200.00 purchases from the wife than the big ones :-)

I don't know what mods you have on your car right now, but the #1 suspension mod should be a set of lower control arms (LCAs). If you want to hit the twisties, the next thing you will need is a thicker rear sway bar.

Hawg is right, the strut tower bar is basically cosmetic only. That being said, they do look cool!


Check out this post for everything you ever wanted to know about suspension mods on these cars:

Congrats on your recent purchase, enjoy it! How about a little slack on the performance issue. If this is all he can afford right now without the wife reading the Visa bill line by line, let it be. I don't see much performance bashing with all these fake hood-scoops and window louvers being installed.

I thought the Strut Tower brace stiffened the front (Body, not suspension) and aslo got rid of some of the rattle in the cabin due to being a convertable.

As for performance Mods

C&L CAI
CAT Back Magna Flow
and
X-Cal 2 / tune

Couple other mods like hood struts, as I had the stick some interior stuff to hide previous owners scrathes and gouges.
