Default strut brace

Fitted a Techart strut brace to my car at the weekend and was unsure what I was going to find when driving it........on my 968 the KLA strut brace was an amazing diffrence....positve turn in was dramatic difference......on reading the posts from 993 forum many people thought the brace would have littel effect on the road and was really only worth while for DE/racing/autocross.......I beg to differ....not as dramatic as the 968 but there is a noteworthy difference in speed and grip through fast corners and a much tighter turn in at average speed........a worth while upgrade me thinks.........

I agree completely. I immediately noticed sharper turn in once I got my strut brace in. True bang for the buck.

There are several brands that I've seen on eBay and they range in price widely. What exactly is the difference and what should I be looking for/staying away from???

Mine came from Vic (VJD3 - see above)....thanks vic, fits like a treat and the carpet, as you suggested will go over it. There are many on the market....use the search and you find a few discussions on this subject over the last year
