Strut tower braces function by linking the tops of the strut towers together which reduces chassis deflection in these areas. This deflection causes poor handling behaviors such as reduced grip and imprecise steering feel by allowing sudden and dynamic changes in alignment as the strut tower deflects. Upgrading your car with a strut tower brace is one of the easiest ways to improve traction and confidence in corners!
Installed TB Performance mid-brace for my 2008 Scion XB to complement the front and rear braces. Wow!, tight ride! This little car is super special now. Thanks Chris and TBP Team! --Sam
While I was confused to how it works I could immediately tell a difference as soon as I lowered the car off the jack stands. Something about it just seems more firm! My only suggestion would be to make the mounting points match the curve at the top of the axle for tighter mounting and centered placement. Install was still super easy regardless.
