zzp strut tower brace install

[Matt Palm]

how difficult is to install the zzp strut tower brace and is it worth it?

[matt5112]

front takes no time, rear is a PITA.

but both can be a major PITA if they need to be ground out a little.

[Matt Palm]

what do you mean ground out

[ItHurtz]

grind. matt go in the chat ull get your responses in seconds

[matt5112]

sometimes the strut towers have already wandered so far apart or together that you need to enlarge the holes in order to mount the things.

[Matt Palm]

hopefully thats not my case i mean its got just under 33k miles

[ItHurtz]

Matt mine has 216k my gmpp stb went on with no problems, I wouldnt worry

[codyAK]

Grinding the holes a little doesn't take long if you have to. Just means opening the holes up a tiny bit if you have to.

Rear also isn't really that bad, shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

My ZZP front installed no problem. Took literally 5 minutes.. The rear on the other hand.. well, you get the idea...

[Aeroheadcww]

No one told you if it was worth it yet, my answer is a definite yes if you drive the car hard like I do. It really stops a lot of the lateral bouncing and rebound. If you don't notice stiffer cornering then you have other problems, hubs, ball joints bushings etc. I have both bars from ZZP and had no problem installing them. The rear for an 04+ has some course adjustment that may have made it easier. Just an FYI, after 80k miles replacing the hub bearings made the biggest difference in how my car handles. Also, gear wrenches help with the rear install

Rear is easy remove the speaker covers and six by nines and you'll get allot more room

so im reviving this thread to get more answers im thinking about getting this. would it help if i went lowered and stop some pogo?

[REDCRAPGP]

Your over thinking this..buy it. No it won't have any more effectiveness if your lowered opposed to if you keep it like it is now. It will help w/ body roll. It's a cheap effective suspension upgrade.

It's a cheap effective suspension upgrade.

thats swaybars. STB does pretty much nothing to a w-body, it should be the last upgrade.

[Matt Palm]

im probally still going to buy it considering its only like 70 bucks and eventually upgrade everything else once my struts go out
