Interested in purchasing a set of strut tower braces and the info from threads is partial at best. The two most commonly used braces are the two mentioned in the poll. Please choose which kind of brace you have, if any, and any feedback on their quality and performance would be great as well. For those choosing "other" could you please list the brand of brace you own and where it was purchased.
Thanks guys and happy voting

I was reading a link about the vibrants forgot who started it but anyway how long have you had them and what do you think about the cars performance and handling since installing them

well, i like it, stiffened things up a little, however vibrant doesnt make a rear bar for our cars, only a front, and from what i hear the rear makes a more noticable difference than the front...but it's not bad, plus it gives you a little shine under the hood...but i mean, you cant expect miracles from STB's if you want really good handling get drop springs, new struts, and swaybars

i too have a vibrant front strut bar. i love it. works great and helped a lot. and yes, they don't make a rear one. granted, i don't think i'd want to get one because it would get in the way of my sub box. otherwise i'd have one by now.

the vibrant looks like a 6 dollar ebay honda strut bar, and it's out of stock anyway, but i voted speedbuilt cause that's what i had and the quality is top notch, and as you all know, they're still for sale :)

sorry...i didn't notice that it was out of stock. i'm sure they'll have more some time soon. and it looks a lot better when it's on the car or in your hands. it's strong, durable and has a great finish.

Just bought FormulaNERDS speedbuilts for a discount so I guess I now can say I have speedbuilts. Thanks everyone for the input it seems to be the speedbuilts overwhelmingly even with only about 10 votes.
