Front Strut Tower Bar

Hey I need some help finding a good strut tower brace for a first gen that is NOT connected to the firewall. Also, to those of you that have one, does it help the handling noticably in an autocross situation?

Why are you concerned about if it’s connected to the firewall? I’m just curious.

I think it will put you in a different class for some track events. Paticularly autocross.

Take care,

That is the Mariah Low Profile K&N Filter Charger Kit necessary when installing their NACA Fiberglass Hood. I think it was around 130.00 plus or minus. You can check with them....at
http://www.mariahmotorsports.com

I don't have the exact k&N numbers but email me privetely at JoseReyes@msn.com and remaind me and I'll look it up on the box at home....

But mariah motorsports sells the complete kit.....That was my first upgrade waiting for my hood.....
