I am lookin to do some chassis stiffening to my 95 Celica
I have read on the strut tower braces for the front and also seen some talk of a rear strut tower brace as well? I just wanted some sugestions and places to buy from for these parts Want to get my car to have less body roll than it has although it is fairly minimal What other suggestions do you have to stiffen the body up? Thanks This post has been edited by 95Celica5Spd: Jul 28, 2013 - 12:49 AM -------------------- 1974 Green Dart Swinger 360 4 BBL auto

Thanks Rear tower brace was standard on the st205 GT4 and can be gotten out of the UK or Japan (read: eBay). Look for ones that have the moulded plastic strut tower caps included. Front can be TRD / Cusco / J-Spec etc.... or you can make one yourself if you have access to a welder. Have you done suspension (Coilovers / springs) and poly bushes yet? --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

+1 on the poly bushings, you will see a world of differences in handling.

Lowering with proper springs, struts, and new bushings makes a world of difference. As my car is now body roll is pretty much nonexistent. Also it could be your struts need replacing anyhow, so suspension is really the first step.
