Suggestion

Run the full 03 for a while and when you are ready for a big change go to the GT3 bars (they are cheap via sunset) and it will really liven up the handling for the track.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seems like a fairly affordable mod: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me...=996Suspension And Suncoast is good to work with- I just ordered a RoW suspension.

POST 2Original post

nope. It is redundant. Take a peek on either side of your battery and you will see the one that the factory nicely put in for you already.

POST 3Original post

I have one on my race car, but would normally say no for a street car. How hard are you driving your cab? Unlike earlier cars, where they were nice bling items, this is hidden for the late model cars, and only you would know it's there. My SC race car needed one, as the tub was not as stiff as today's cars. And it looked good too.

POST 4Original post

Ski, The ROW M030 will be a nice upgrade... the perfect complement will be a set of GT3 adjustable sway bars... those more than anything will improve the handling.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info everyone, and Paul 996- thanks for the lead on the GT3 bars...something else to shop for. The RoW M030 kit comes w/ new front & rear bars - I assume they're upgraded from my '02 C4 cab stock? I'll read up on the GT3 setup. Thanks!

POST 6Original post

Yes the 030 kit includes bars and they are an upgrade. Run the full 03 for a while and when you are ready for a big change go to the GT3 bars (they are cheap via sunset) and it will really liven up the handling for the track.

POST 7Original post

I don't see how a brace that has two hinges in it can provide any structural support whatsoever. Can someone please explain this to me?

POST 8Original post

Have one in my '87 but still flexes like a wet noodle with PSS9's

POST 9Original post

On the older cars...like my 87 cabriolet....the body structure was a bit flexible...and the strut bars were used in between the strut towers to reduce the flex...especially in the cabriolets which has less structural ridigity that the coupes. These actually had some merit and did reduce flex. Although I have them in my 87, it still creaks and groans when I go over curbs at an oblique angle, but not as badly as without them. The newer cabs have added structural strength as was referenced above. Some guys buy the strut bars even for their coupes...which to me is a total waste of money. Now the torsion bars are another matter.

POST 10Original post

That brace is bling. You already have one and it's the same IIRC that is used in the cups! This has been covered many times. Check the archives and see that it has been discussed already.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
