[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 14046539, member: 155561"] I will agree with Kelly, in that sense, that a proper strut tower bar will aid chassis regidity. That being said lol, if you look at the OEM bar, it has very wide slots on each end, and the bar can literally slide at least 1/2" each direction when installed. Due to that, it does virtually nothing for the car because your chassis would have to be flexing over 1/2" before the bar even begins adding rigidity. For further example, a friend of mine has a track pack 5.0, and i asked if i could borrow his STB to decide if i wanted to buy one. A few days have gone by and im rather unimpressed, even trying to corner hard i can feel no appreciable difference. He comes into my room a bit later and says "hey man were you still wanted to check out my tower bar?" He didnt even know i had taken it off the car lol, the OEM piece is almost 100% cosmetic.
