chassis re-enforcement v.101

[marc_scirocco@sympatico.ca (Marc Scirocco Québec)]

How steady, stable are strut tower bars?

The strut tower mounts do not have really strong bolts, I know as I broke
some while tightening them years ago. And a nospeed ST bar has mounting
holes a bit bigger than the actual bolts. ok, manufacturing tolerance...

But you can't really tighten them down, so they are bound to move a bit.

I am sure that welding bars would really improve handling.

mmm, maybe small inserts...

Just a thought.

Cheers.

If you dontthink the strut towers move, loosen the 2 nuts on one side and
take acasual drive to the store. Now look at the chaffe marks on the
towers. They do move alot actually which you dont really feel seat of the
pants.
