Can you really FEEL the strut tower brace?

You can find numerous long threads on this subject.. Bottom line:

Both parts make only a subtle difference, the STB helping on rough roads, the x-brace improving steering response.

I've got both the DiGrappa X-brace and a STB.

Didn't feel a bit of difference with the STB - like s2kpdx says... it's to lean on when you are working on your car.

I would recommend an X-brace - it does seem to make things feel more tied together. The steering response felt crisper somehow...

For all the nay sayers:

Take your car to the track a couple times and then put one on and tell me if you can feel the difference or not.

My friend just installed his Spoon TB with no other mod. Since I was looking into getting this combo with an X-Brace I really wanted to take the car out for a spin.
The handling difference is very small from I could feel in the corners and stops. The car felt a little more "solid" if you will. The major difference was the cars feeling when going over those DOT's on the freeway or going uneaven pavment. You can really feel it at all. Over all the car feels "solid" and I look forward to getting my X-Brace and STB soon"
