Racing Beat Tower Brace... Whats it worth?

Got an 89-91 Racing Beat front strut tower Brace. Came with my '90 TII.
I've looked for pricing on ebay listings, for-sale threads, and racingBeat's WebCatalog. But since its a discontinued part, not many people seem to have 'em.

I'm looking to get rid of it for some extra cash, just dont know how much to list it for.
Anybody know what the RETAIL price was for these?... And/Or a fair price for a used one?

No retail price on this as they don't sell them anymore. But $100 sounds like a good point to start at to me.

Very awesome part there, and very strong. That's one of the first parts I looked into before I got my 7, lol.

I found the Racing Beat strut tower brace listed in an old catalog that I never threw away. The catalog is from 1997 and the price list says it retailed for $180. I scanned the listing from the catalog and it is supposed to fit all FCs except cars with AAS.

Nice to bad I don't need a front strut bar, like said above I'm sure you could get $100 for it.

Is the use of these tower struts recommended for the S4 verts? I get a lot of scuttle shake on gravel roads with the roof down. I think I read somewhere that you do not use these on the vert. AAron, any thoughts?

Good to hear!

As far as verts go there is no problem with them, I have mine on my 91 vert and it helps out a bit in the front. Its the body flex that is the problem. That was the very first thing I noticed when I picked up my first vert.
