Tower Strut Brace

[rrohrig]

I am looking to pick up a 3 point brace for my '03. I saw a guy that had a blue one on eBay on his car for sale last year (since my car is Sonic blue) and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one. Secondly, is it worth it? As far as I know they are relatively cheap. Also, I bought the Billetflow 2.93 and 4 pulley kit with a Gates 75.5' belt - Should I also be getting a lower? My car is currently stored for the last 4 months and will take it to get tuned in a couple months when I put the pulleys on, so I do have some time. No port on the S/C. Thanks for the input.

What kind of driving do you do that you think you need a ST brace? Unless you are really into 1/4 mile. Dont do the lower pully. It opens up several other issues. Your car stock is most likely more than you can drive. Too many people mod for the sake of modding. Enjoy the car and when you hit a point that it wont do what you want then look at changing things.

I bought the car this year with 7K miles on it. I took it on the Hot Rod Power Tour but otherwise I drove it 600 miles. I just drive it in the sunny summer months (which in Ohio there aren't many). I wanted to beef it up a bit so I can one up my Dad's Shelby or one of his other 12 cars including 7 Street rods. I haven't dragged it and quite frankly I think it is too nice to drag. I'm just a weekend driver to/from shows or for a quick rip on the highway. I bought the car bone stock and have done minimal upgrades - Magnaflow O/R X, Catback, JLT CAI, and MGW shifter. I plan on owning this car until i die or give it to my 1 yr old son (in about 30 yrs). Thanks for the comments.

I am working on finding a drag car but I can handle more than this car is putting out. My goal is a nice ride, never seen rain or snow, but can whoop the shxx out of any other car that i come across, if it had too but am not looking for that sort of nonsense, something to turn heads. To be honest with you, I thought the brace would look good, more so than being a needed upgrade. Sorry I doubled up the thread there. What would you suggest for an upgrade? I think the next item on the list will be some 18s.
