Ultra Racing Strut Tower Brace

Anyone have any experience with Ultra Racing Strut Tower Brace for the F25? Seems like they are the only ones out there selling such a thing for the F25.

They also have a few other items for the F25.

I have added strut tower braces to my previous vehicles and liked the improved handling.

Just installing brace, will- probably not - do anything for you. First you need to prepare vehicle for forces high enough, that you need to re-inforce with brace. E.g. lower it and install "supertires", like 20" Michelin PSS.

I got the handling/steering precision, I was looking for, by just lowering with H&R. 20" Pirellis - to be exchanged for PSS. I did check all performance extras incl. adjustable shocks.

If you're trying to improve handling, and have not done Springs, I would definitely say you should do that first. I love my H&R's. Slight drop too, which is a bonus and looks great.

From what I have read, sway bars make a lot more difference to handling, than strut bars. I know when I did the sway bars on my old 535 wagon, I was blown away by how much it improved its handling.

Doesn't look like these guys make sway bars. It's just Member Brace / Lower Bars, which I'm not familiar with.

Anyone can chime in how much difference they might make and how?

PS Besides buying From their website, where else can you buy them?
