Strut Brace new 9-3 4cyl
[SSBRACE]

Date Added: Thursday 12 June, 2014

by Brian Miller

Was initially tempted to give this mod a 3 or 4 star rating. Installation may or may not be as straight forward as the directions indicate. A quick tip, if you are having problems lining up the bolts, try ditching the included washers for some additional wiggle room. That was the trick that let me get mine on (still looking for slightly smaller washers to replace ones in the bag).

But, once I got it on..WOW! HUGE DIFFERENCE. Immediately noticed reduced torque steer, stiffer and more responsive steering wheel. Ride is more sporty and "euro" feeling. Wheel tracks straighter on highway as well. Threw the car into a few corners and wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Only complaint I have now is, with improved body stiffness, I notice new weaknesses in the factory suspension (stock suspension on 2.0T 2007, 60th anniversary package).

Overall, BUY THIS. INSTALL. ENJOY. You will not be dissapointed.

Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
