During hard cornering and braking, forces are fed from the wheels to the strut tower. Adding stiffer springs and performance shocks only increases the load. Long-term effects are shock tower fatigue, cracking and poor tire wear. A Strut Tower Brace provides extra support to the strut towers by securing both towers together and limiting relative motion. A quality Strut Tower Brace also sharpens the feel and response of the front suspension, thereby enhancing the driver's experience and lowering lap times.
