strut brace after lowering-good idea

[pete bann]

getting my valver lowered and was wondering whether or not to invest in a strut brace as a matter of precaution or whether being lowered on avos will render the use of a strut brace useless??

cta, pete

I would imagine you will benefit from a strut brace because by lowering the car you will be able to hit bends a lot harder and brake much later. This results in the chassis flexing or rolling. If you fit a strut brace, you will reduce the amount of flex in the chassis and improve handling even further.

But when you push and push the car will just slide and slide. Youll get more understeer on the limit and it will also be more snappy. THink about it if you dont have a brace your car will strain under the pressure gradually, and youll be able to feel it, whereas with a brace you will be controlled up to a point and it will suddenly just let go where the laws of physics take over. If you want a fun car dont get one.
