Default New strut tower braces PICS

I just installed my strut tower braces. Here are some pics for you guys:





These braces were off of Cully's 5th gen. I cleaned the front one up and sprayed it before I installed it. Thanks again for the braces Cully. Im real happy with them.

Those are some pretty hardcore looking STB's.
Any idea what year those were made, or who made them?

The front brace is a stock piece off of the Cutlass supreme convertables. It was a early to mid 90s production piece I believe. The rear is a Held Motorsports bar. It is definately the definition of heavy duty.

Very nice! You'll feel the stiffness in the cornering ability. Just not quite as mushy going thru corners and curves.

I can definately feel a difference. The car is more willing to go the direction I turn the wheel instead of feeling like it wants to roll to the side around the corner.

That looks great. I bet handling is much better on those on/off ramps! I'm looking into getting a set for my 2006.
