I'm sure they do *something*, but I don't think it's enough to where you would actually feel that it's doing something good for you. I mean, you're car would have to be flexing pretty bad for this to actually make that big of a difference. I bet if I took them off your car you wouldn't notice unless you seen they were missing.

Leroy, think about it for a second-

How much does your front end really flex? Dr. Boost hit it right on the spot. Use your ------- head.

they keep the strut towers from moving separately and changing the angle of your suspension in cornering. whats the problem with them?

I don't think anybody is saying there is a problem with them? How much does the body flex during cornering? Enough to move the suspension far enough off so that it makes it handle worse without strut braces? I can't see it making that big of a difference, if any.

its pretty evident that your knowledge of honda chassis is lacking. going straight, no, they really dont matter. hang a corner while moving...yes, they make a huge difference.

It's pretty obvious you're on the JDM bandwagon and will support anything that seems like it might be JDM. I can almost guarantee if I snuck in your garage and took your strut braces off you wouldn't even notice it, but of course on the internet you can claim you would. Take some pictures of a car YOU have owned that has had strut braces intalled and I *might* consider your input on a real world situation like this. Chances are you just read about it in a nip magazine or on the interent on a JDM website so now you're a believer. :1
