Phil94850 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 quck question.. im looking at installing a strut brace, for those of you that have one does it really make a diff on handling and such ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 i just put in omp's strut bar and i think its done a little. the front just feels a little firmer. i wouldn't say i can take a turn at 300mph now but the turn in can be felt.not a huge mod but.....i think the key is to do other mods in conjunction with the bar. then you'll have a great set up.mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomin850 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Eh, I have an older version of IPD's brace and I noticed a huge difference after the install...but then again I did springs, shocks, struts, wheels, and the brace all at the same time ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACES70 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 quck question.. im looking at installing a strut brace, for those of you that have one does it really make a diff on handling and such ??It will if you have already done the basics, such as endlinks, sways...It works best IMO to go on last will a full setup including springs and struts/shocks.

7 VII 7 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I have stock everything, but I have an OMP strut brace.... it is awesome... but I think you will notice a little difference if you already have suspension work done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAKES855 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I had the cherry turbo brace on my 850 and I noticed quite a difference even on stock suspension, It gave alot more front end feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon to have a 850 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 i have been looking at the OMP and the Cherry Turbo braces. which 1 do you all think would be better in the long run ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmD Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 i have been looking at the OMP and the Cherry Turbo braces. which 1 do you all think would be better in the long run ?Dunno a lot about the cherry, but I can say I've never heard a negative review about the OMP! I'd say that speaks for something :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(n)A-GAME Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I have the EST one which I think is OMP, with stock everything else, and i can definitely tell a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irf Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 i was a bit sceptical on strut braces making more then a slight difference, but i was surprised on the difference it made on my car which was already lowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
