Tower brace bars stiffen up the body and elimate body roll.
It's a cheap mod and well worth it IMHO

I was looking at the pictures you posted. I've got one question. From what it looks like, it blocks the brake master cap. Does it? Would suck to have to remove the bar to top off your brake fluid.

On my 07 mustang, the strut bar in the front made the difference between hearing tire squeal around certain corners and after install, no squeal whatsoever. Rear wheel drive though. I thought it felt better, and my girl didn't bitch about going too fast up Hwy 38 North in northern Minnesota. That alone was worth the money!

grandam strut bars will fit our car correct? I'll defiantly be getting them drop in along with the lowering spring in a few weeks.

GA's are the same as aleros. Hence the term "n-body".

I just wanted to make sure before ordering. I know there are those few things that are supposed to be the same but don't quite line up.
