Hi just wondering if anybody has fitted a strut brace and actually felt any turning in improvements. When the wallet has recovered Im thinking about this as its a quick bolt on job. As my cars a targa just wondered if it gives the shell a bit more ridgidity?

it is the lack of bulkhead/firewall at the front of the car that is the problem, if nothing else a strut brace will allow you to take some of the chassis sag into account as the older 911 seems to suffer from this, a good alignment shop should also be a ble to use the brace when setting your car up

Hi, I installed a front strut brace to my 964 cabby two years ago and remember at the time feeling an improvement to the turn-in and steering feel. Now with my 993 I intend to fit another. Can't honestly say for fact that a strut brace makes a huge difference but I felt there was enough of an improvement to justify the purchase.

Fitted strut brace to my 911SC and it made it feel a lot more confident when turning and tightened it up, a lot better upgrade than turbo tie rods in my opinion.

not my experience but a friend of mine put a brace on his 964 cabbie and he said it tightened up the front of his car
