Front Strut Power Brace

Z Trip · Feb 26th, 2008, 04:05 PM

If I purchase this part, will I be able to shut my factory hood?

Also, does this item: Help me take corners faster? "Stiffen" my ride? Do Drifters use it?

Thanks

Depending on the make and design of the strut bar the hood should close. The front strut bar adds about 5-10% stiffness but the rear strut bar add about 30%.

The front strut bar on a Z32 (no experience on a Z31) rubs the plenum and has been known to cut the fuel line. :-/

The rear has not issues.
