Hey All,
I Just Installed a White Line Brace Bar to the Mrs VR Berlina, To try and prevent strut towers from cracking as we all know its common as, Anyway Took it for a Before and after drive, Once fitted the difference was really noticeable, The Car has bugger all body roll at the front now, and feels like its on rails, the Front end just dives straight into corners now no problem, unlike the normal body roll omg lol
So Not only preventing the towers from cracking its improved handling ALOT. For $170 i paid for it, best handling mod you could do.
Just wanted to let you know the difference it made if anyone is interested in purchasing one, really recommend it
Cheers
thanks for the info
ive brought one of these years ago but havent installed it yet, just wondering if anyones got one installed and if its worth putting on?

Wut?
Straight brace wont change the body roll, sway/torsion bars will.
Strut brace will do what its name suggests, Brace the struts and stop the body flexing.
Reckon they are worth it but prefer the ones that cover the entire strut top.... like this:-

Better in the long run, as it obviously distributes the load over a greater surface.
Standard Holden SS brace is only over two studs. So I guess its not a DRASTIC issue.
i should install it seems i have one. just not sure it will with with the raptor and pipes in there.
also i have to drill new holes for the bolts to go through the strut tower so i think i would have to drop the struts to make it easyer to instll right?

Well its not meant to stop body roll but it sure does feel a lot more solid in the corners, cause there not flexing as much to me what feels like body roll
