tanabe strut tower brace
was reading some posts on the tanabe tower brace from a while back . the last post mentioned that it appeared that the mounting plate now blocked
access to the fuse box cover , can anyone verify this ?.if that's the case , it does'nt sound like a very practical mod

thanks for the heads -up , looking at the pictures i still can't figure out what it's attached to . so far , i've got 2 subframe braces under the front and
2 braces in the back ( one across the bottom in front of the beam axle and the other across the rear upper seatbelt mounts ) they work wonders
for the feel of the car

yes , i have one , was my first mod

i would pass on the rear sway bar (makes your car drive like 2 separate pieces) and start with the front sway bar on the Fits. the car leans too much and loses posture while turning. then get a LSD.

it probably would make a big difference i'm sure .and no , the car doesn't loose it's posture while turning , it's rather composed , i'd say . the braces on the car do alot for
roll stiffness

i have a blox swaybar for the front ,but haven't put it in in yet , pretty much looks like i have to drop the subframe to get it in so right now it's winter and i'm not in a rush .

Definitely this. Even with traction control off, it's tough to get to slide around tight corners.

been looking at the various pictures of the tanabe tower brace , so , you really do have to undo the mounting bracket to access the fusebox ?
#15
just re-installed mine last night after getting the car back from the shop. If you can see on the driver side, the bracket is blocking entry to the fuse box. Not a big deal to remove if need be! So go buy it! 😎
#17
that's right. The front strut bar does nothing practical at all.

There is a matching lower front brace also. It's on my future purchase list.
