I have a vert that I'm planning on putting a strut tower brace in the rear to make it a little more firmer. But I'm concerned with clearance issues with the top. Right now I have the top off because i'm replacing it. Can anyone who's done it on a vert tell me if they had problems.

 

I had a rear strut bar on my vert last year and as far as I can remember there were no clearance issues. The brace will be under the rear interior pieces I believe so you will be fine.

 

no strut tower braces are needed unless you are going to/have all polyurethane bushings, if you dont have the stiffer bushings the braces are useless.

 

yeah, you're only gonna alter the physics of the vehicle and stiffness of the chassis if you don't have poly bushing. Which ones in particular? I need to find good ones, and the only one i know for sure is the rear toe elimination one.

 

mainly engine and trans. mounts but sway bars, end links (if not getting the adjustables), and control arm bushings all help. For the engine and trans. mounts i recommend Banzai-Racing.com chris knows his **** and anything from there is the best quality! for the others i recommend energy suspension.
