Dennis · May 1st, 2007, 09:56 PM

ok see that D shape bar goign accross the top of my motor what the hell is that and why is it there every picture ive seen of stock 96 gt's including on here or in books on sites i have yet to see this bar on them so yea what the fuck is that thingso far all ive figured out it gets in the way when im trying to add oil

HMUSN · May 1st, 2007, 10:03 PM

its a strut tower bar, it sitffens up the front end of the car significantly and prevents body flex

HMUSN · May 1st, 2007, 10:04 PM

you WANT that on your car man

k2boarder3187 · May 1st, 2007, 11:22 PM

why dont they have it on the 98?

ujslost · May 1st, 2007, 11:29 PM

Thats actually a good question dude really. Im sure your not the only person here who wondered that. Ive actually got a spare one if someone needs one. But the way you described it as "D" shaped well.....

Dennis · May 2nd, 2007, 07:53 AM

well actually it is D shaped if you turn it sideways i want to know if it came with the car or if its aftermarket and i guess that would explain why my car takes corners like its on train tracks

ujslost · May 2nd, 2007, 08:14 AM

mine came factory with one

Casper98GT · May 2nd, 2007, 08:40 AM

it is a strut brace and yeah it is a D shape. I knew what you were talking about, why is everyone laughing ??

Some years and certain productions have them. Mine does not.

Dennis · May 2nd, 2007, 03:11 PM

interesting that makes sence now because mines the only one i seen with it on there thanks for the info

Mystry · May 2nd, 2007, 05:34 PM

k2boarder3187 · May 2nd, 2007, 06:39 PM

98SilverBullet · May 2nd, 2007, 09:04 PM

My '98 didn't come stock with the Strut Tower Brace

burlingtonNC98GT · May 2nd, 2007, 10:19 PM

mine doesnt have one either. should i buy one?

MustangMatt96GT · May 2nd, 2007, 10:24 PM

I will give better handling and a stiffer set up! I personally would get one, but if you ever plan on getting a JLT cai you will have to use washers underneath someparts to get the intake to fit!
