strut brace

How did you measure this?

I did a before and after drive and the "feeling" was there was less body roll. I'm sure an adjustable brace would be better but a genuine strut brace is better than nothing.

No I didn't have any instrument showing yaw rates etc (its a VZ not a R35 GT-R after all!) but there was a difference.

Thought I might add some pics since there are none in here at the moment. Remember for this mod you will need the strut brace and 4 nuts. I apologise for the filthiness of my car...

for everyone who is saying that a strut brace does NOTHING i cannot understand this. my vt was fitted with one and i found that i can carry my speed through the corners much much faster and get on the gas earlier as well. I drive twisty high speed (above 110) corners about 6 times a week going to work and footy and i can honestly say that it made a difference for the good. Although i find the car much more tail happy around those 90degree corners as the font end bites harder and the back just slides. But for the high speed corners its great.

If you dont think your strut brace did anything then your not pushing hard enough to notice it. IMO

Looks to have all the stiffening qualities of a bow from an archery set.
