Wa2good's strut brace

I just install WA2Good's front strut brace and wanted to share my joy with this product, first the fit is spot on with the front timing cover, Scott made sure to make me one that would clear the area for the stillen superchager I am going to put in.
I just wanted to say the placement of the bar is perfect and does not go past the cover area where the belt is going for the S/C
the fit is so perfect in fact that you would have thought he had cut it just for my car with it there in front of him

the brackets on the ends took a little work to place but nothing too serious
except the power steering bracket mounting point would not go over the strut brace
a guy from my auto class was helping me and was able to make a bracket (extension) for me, looks great and like it was made for it.

also installed aftermarket coolant radiator hoses and tube from the stillen kit
the silicon hoses were an extra add in from TTrank when he sent me his kit
I must remember to thank him again.

anyway the body roll in the turns is down to nothing now, before I was a ble to turn on a dime now I can do it and not feel any kind of shift in the car
very much worth the money

I know everone likes picks on this forum so I had taken some and will add after I download them tonight after work






all ready for the supercharger

yea I know needs to be cleaned, this is right after I installed the brace and the hoses

the second and third pics are of the boost sensor (for my gauges) which mounted on the metal partition for the engine bay, there was allready a spot there just had to drill the hole out a little, and run the vaccuum line to the manifold port on the oppisite side of the engine, this just until the kit is installed
plus on top you can see the lines ran for the A/F gauge, these are going through the gromet and run back behind the engine bay over to the wideband O2 sensor, I really like how they came out because the whole thing looks stock

I agree with you entirely, the fitment, quality and functionality of Scott's front strut bar is second to none in my opinion. Scott was cool enough to replace my old VRT front strut bar to a new one when the Stillen SC was installed.





Extremely happy with it.

I need to second or third the endorsement of the VRT STB. A GREAT Product, one that I would not want to be without.
