Strange strut brace
#18
Jack,
The bar does make a difference. Whether or not it is worth the cost is purely subjective. A friend and I installed the strut braces on our 951's and we both noticed that the chassis felt stiffer in the front. My friend noticed there was no flex when backing out of his driveway at an angle, previously there was. In my case it could be a placebo effect as I have no data to back up my experiences. I don't really drive my car hard, but it does feel stiffer under hard cornering. If I had to pay the Performance Products bogus prices for a strut brace then it would definitely not be worth it to me. The KLA brace is a bargain.
Danger,
Thanks for the compliments. It's hard work keeping these cars in good condition and I haven't even done 5% of what some people on here have.

im not sure if you would be able to tell immediately, but in conjunction with other suspension work(roll cage, coilver suspension, geometry correction) id say the brace is well worth the 125$
