Well I'm tired of looking through all the posts so here I am. Do I need one if I don't raise the car to install it?

Why are some adjustable? Are they universal?

I'm getting the DC front tower brace for $95 shipped through Amazon...

I think it a good price, any other suggestions?

Thanks...

The upper strut bars just bolt on to the tower with no modifications needed. No need for an allignment. I do not see that the DC strut bars are adjustable:

No I said some are adjustable... why?

 

I have the Tanabe Sustec adjustable... it isn't universal, but allows you to stiffen or loosen it up...

No alignment is needeed, as it doesn't do much of anything.... a bit more stiffness on high speed turning maybe... I believe having the ability to make it tighter/looser is a (Adjustment feature) , but I just tighten it up snug and let it roll.

Almost any of the bars will be the same deal...

 

Alright thanks... and is is REALLY worth it??

 

no...

 

The tC's towers are very close to the firewall, so I don't feel it's worth it compared to most other cars, where it makes more of a difference. Of course if you're part of the show crowd or just very superficial, then it's a "must have" item.

 

If someone installed your strut towr bar and you need an alignment... I'd be one upset man.

 

K thanks for all of the replies! I think I'll just stick with the CC short shifter and the 2 brass bushings
