Strut Tower brace

Would a strut tower brace be a good addition to a 2000 WS-6 or is it just a waste of money?

Re: Strut Tower brace

Try to find a used one.

$50-60. Otherwise I believe they are a waste.
Many people get these as rookie mod'ers only to feel they got ripped later on. They do help body roll...but not much. The chassis is pretty sturdy already.
I would recommend subframe connectors long before a strut tower brace.

Re: Strut Tower brace

To be honest...I am not sure about the 3rd gen chassis.
I remember reading somewhere that they didn't change much from the 3rd to the 4th gen.
Maybe someone else can chime in.

Re: Strut Tower brace

Your best bet on a 3rd Gen to stiffen up the chassis is to get the bigger front sway bar linkage. It knocks the body roll in half...
