strut brace Question

[madsav]

Will a whiteline strutbrace fit my vt gen3 ? i only ask because ive never really seen a gen3 with one

[DLFHUB666]

the strut brace has nothing to do with the engine , if it is a vt/vx model strut brace it will fit.
EDIT: i have a fully adjustable strut brace on my vx cant remember the brand name.

To easy mate, should have heaps of room, like i said i have one on my vx ss an can remove / replace the turtle shell with ease.

Why don't you buy the vz ss strut brace frown holdens all you gotta do is drill the holes out and you buy the bolts at the same time its only about 60bucks for the whole lot mate

Any diffrence between the GM vz 1 and say a whiteline brand? other then 1 is chrome and other is black lol

[DLFHUB666]

The GM ones are not adjustable an the whiteline ones are, thats about it.

whiteline one can probably take a bit more abuse to

I have a whiteline one on my VT SS

[madsav]

so is there any noticeable diffrence with having a strut brace or not having 1? only ask cause i had 1 of my old vn commodore and didnt really feel any diffrence

Only if you drive your car hard into corners which i do or take it to the track, otherwise more of a wank factor thing.

[ashbox]

as dlf said, only if you go hard into corners

i'm thinking of fitted one only to cure the last creeks i get while driving up a driveway slowly

i've gotten rid of 98% of creeks and rattles

i only want to fit a GM one that costs $50 or so

will it affect my wheel alignment and will i need to another one done

I asked my mechanic a similar question and he reckons that you can bend a GM one over your knee.
The adjustable ones can be adjusted tighter or looser and of course are much more rigid, so you do get your moneys worth.
Having said that, you'd have to be going pretty fast around a pretty hard corner to maybe even feel a difference, so for a street car many people come to the conclusion that a good one or a GM one isn't even worth it.

My brother in-law got me my fully adjustable one for $70, dont know where from an cant remember the brand name.Its a nice metallic blue colour.
