Strut Tower Bar

Is the strut tower bar a worthy purchase? The Strut towers are so far back and close to the firewall any body flex should be captured by the firewall/cowl panel.

Look forward to hearing your responses.

Strut Brace?

It's going to have a small positive impact, nothing major and it will improve the look of the engine compartment.

you can tell that "small positive impact" (I have driven them without and mine has one). So buy one!

I wouldnt spend more than $100 on one if thats possible for the xB2. I really do like the touch they add to an engine bay. It was my first mod on my tC and I paid about $92 for it. I felt it was worth it.
