Flat, it corners very flat with comparatively little or no roll, definitely an improvement and worth the time and money invested :thumb:

That's exactly what my impressions were too. Now lower it and it feels even better. :yes:

Now that I've really been driving a lot I'm just amazed at what a difference the tower bar makes in the way the car handles. I'm on and off expressways all day the majority having cloverleaf ramps and that's where I really notice how flat the car now drives around them. Has a real taught feeling too now.

ok please educate me on the use of these??? what is the exact purpose ??? I've never had to use one since most of the vehicles I have modded have been a body on frame design

Its purpose is to strengthen the body, reducing body roll and enhancing steering input. It connects to each of the front strut towers making the body less likely to flex.

There are a couple of good threads that talk more about them here viewtopic.php?f=43&t=13808

I didn't know anything about them until recently

Interesting to see how a tower brace helps a unibody vehicle but... anything is possible, I guess.
