How much difference did the strut brace make? I'm thinking about going back to a VN for my daily commute to Murrarie. Nothing crazy just suspension mods and a manual if i can find a decent one.

CustomCommodore · 04-26-2007, 08:11 PM

i can tell ya for sure a strut brace wont do **** on VN lol UNLESS!!!, you lower it, heavy duty control arms and sway bars, and then it will make a difference, i can feel the most difference when cornering around the track, front end is alot more tighter

BTW, from the looks of that upper radiator hose, that engine compartment is begging for an inline 12......ok, at least a V-8.
