    strut brace

    at this point i have replaced all of the suspension components on my car (usually with slightly upgraded pieces). i am considering a strut tower brace but my very porsche knowledgeable mechanic thinks that this wont really do anything on my car since it has such skinny tires (205/60 15). ie: the tires dont have enough grip to generate the lateral loads that would cause changes to the camber via the strut towers.

    does anyone have experience with strut braces using reletively stock tire sizes?

    With most strut braces, you will notice a difference. The amount of change depends on the design of the brace. The fact your car has does not have big wheels/tyres does not matter,we have fitted our design brace, to many cars, with 205/60, and 205/55/15 and 16 inch tyres. All these cars have displayed a noticable difference.
