A strut tower brace basically adds the fourth link to a front box section. By adding the brace, you increase the rigidity of the engine bay and frontal structure of the vehicle. On new vehicles, the duty cycle of the machine is not sufficient to incur fatigue.
Don't buy a brace and you'll notice the difference in a couple years, especially if you ever track the car.

I have the BMR's in stock for 189.99 free shipping. I have sold them like crazy, and they do make a nice difference. Plus the looks. The sway bars and things that have the most "anti-roll" always FEEL like they're doing more than top end chassis stiffening.

If any of you guys are interested I have a practically brand new FRPP strut tower brace in my trunk. I felt a big difference but that was with the whole kit. The brace looks great in the engine bay. About a month after adding the full kit I added the FRPP/Whipple supercharger and the brace doesn't clear.
It costs $195 new. Email me at ndhesq@comcast.net if you are interested.
