Wed, 15 May 2002 02:55 Andrew, what is your aim - show car, circuit racer, off road vehicle? I'm confused. Please don't take that the wrong way. Strut braces reduce movement of the strut towers (and therefore struts) so that your steering geometry isn't grossly altered mid corner, resulting in more predictable handling. If you want even more structural rigidity, I would suggest a well designed/constructed roll cage. In my opinion, for a street vehicle with unaltered power, it's probably a bit of overkill. But it suspect it might look the goods at a show. Sway bars are there to reduce body roll thru a corner but also fine tune the handling charcteristics of the vehicle. By altering the thickness of sway bars, one can dial in more or less understeer/oversteer. By the way your suspension shouldn't be making that much noise. I would get that sussed out before proceeding. [Report message to a moderator]
