The front strut tower brace ties the two front strut towers together to strenghten or "brace" the front ends together. It relieves some body flex that may occur. Does it really handle better? Steering is more responsive but this is only really noticeable when taking corners at a more aggresive pace.

Only wish I had gotten it sooner. Alot less body roll when cornering. Get it! Best 37 bucks I have spent for my max. You won't be sorry!

One thing is for sure...

Every time you open your hood to show someone what you've got done... People will think your car is faster than fast. I took a survey at my college 92% of the people I showed my engine to said "Wow, What is that thing going across the top?" "It's a FSTB." "Wow your car must go really fast." Out of the 100 people I surveyed, 92 of them were females who don't know jack about cars, except how to put in gas. (This doesn't mean every girl who drives is an idiot. Just some of them.)

Oh yea. It makes a difference when your cornering at high speeds. Just get a RSB to make it complete.
