I never drive it just clean it. no, honestly it only looked like that once. the day started as a routine oil change that got out of hand. no drop, just some dental tools and cleaning solution. profy for your car? lol. funny the car felt lighter after that cleaning. seems to run cooler. you know what that means MAD POWER! LOL.

Hi Oak, why do you want one of those braces? Is it for the bling factor?

you know me. bling, blang, that's what it"s about. no, actually, they are to add strut ridgidity. you know how weakly designed the 996 is in this area.........

Actually, I believe the 996 has substantial direct unibody structure between the
shock towers at front and rear in the 996. I believe that for our car the strut
tower brace is pointless. YMMV.

Hi, no I don't. If we could do an experiment. If/when you get one, Before installing
the bar, jack up one side of the car, and lower it so one tire is resting on a piece
of 2x8 or some other wide platform of known height. Then measure the distance
from the ground to the lowest point of the other tire on that side. Next, mount the
brace as designed, and repeat the measurement. If the suspended tire is now higher,
we have a winner, and your chassis has become stiffer. If not, then you may safely
resell the brace without loss of stiffness.
