front strut tower brace

[gameguru1360]

is there a noticeable difference between having a front strut tower brace that uses all 3 bolts on the suspension hub and 2 bolts?? The Racingling strut brace uses 3, Stillen uses 2

i dont think there would be a differnce. if it is, its not much. mine uses all 3 though.

Not sure, seems like all 3 bolts may be slightly stiffer though? It is nearly the same contact area, however.

I definitely recommend the strut tower brace though, surprisingly noticeable improvement in handling.

Remember that the Racingline brace doesn't immediately work with BC coils. Stillen fits fine though.

...really? Is that because it only uses two bolts/tower?

I'm using factory shock coils. So the stiffness isn't that much of a difference with the Stillen only using 2 bolts??

Either way you look at it, its an AMAZING upgrade. I think all owners will agreed, it gives you way more confidence going through corners. Especially if you are lowered! You feel like you are carving out the road lol

it won't make a noticeable difference, I mean you could argue that 3 bolts is stiffer and stronger under load, but for our application the difference is negligible. Go with the one that you like the best, I went with the racingline's because I wanted a more subtle look.

Is this confirmed??? I just picked up the BC Coil overs and I already have the Stillen FSB....I won't need to make any modifications? Cause thats awesome....

Confirmed!

I have BC coils and Stillen FST

Good to know!
