On verts of course, those of you who did not notice any significant change in vibrations, did you have a strut tower brace? or not?

No. I don't have the stb, the front sway bar and the weight. And it handles fine. I may notice some stability if I get a stb, but who knows.

Many of the people you are polling will argue that aftermarket mufflers don't really drone and caster camber metal-on-metal plates don't make noise, either.
Also, all-metal motor mounts are reasonable for street use, and removing all the sound-deadening insulation is worthwhile & doesn't really affect streetability.
So take this advice with not a grain of salt---a whole shaker full.
Mine's still in place & so's my STB.

I removed the weights and the STB had to removed for my kenne bell, they included an article that said the STB for sn95s was more for looks then functionality.

OT: here is a PM i got from KenneBell:

Finally got a strut tower to work with the KB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got a mac strut tower for 94-95 mustang, then massaged the corner where the blower comes close by slightly pinching it with a vice, then used two washers to stand strut tower up about 1/8 inch and voila! It fits!!

No cowl weight, no STB, no K-member brace, and no rear sway bar(putting it in Friday). No vibrations and handles extremely well around turns.
