I damaged my strut brace when I was putting on new struts and shocks (Koni yellow sports) after I installed everything and dove the car I actually loved the way it drove without the brace. I know I’ll get a lot of hate for this but it definitely gives a smoother ride - any downsides to driving without it permanently ?

You sure you're not confusing the Koni ride improvement with the strut brace removal?Originally posted by Leafsrule531 View Post

Mine is an early model that came without the brace. It is 10 years ago, but I remember when I added the strut brace it made the front axle much better in response. I didn't add anything else at the time.
I don't think there's any upsides to run without a strut brace...

I mean you can drive without but your seam sealer will start ripping and the strut towers might move. Especially when under load (in corners)Comment

Put it back on and see if it's even better with your new dampers plus the brace.Comment
