I would like to mount a front strut tower brace (STB)
which STB you advised me?
thanks and ciao!

 

Have you found any that fit? (If so, which?)

 

 

There is a strut tower brace available here in germany. It's made by Wiechers (german company for roll cages) and it's available in aluminium or carbonfibre. I don't have one and I don't know how well it fits.
In fact I don't think that this car will benefit much from a strut tower brace since it is already very rigid. Unless you take it frequently to the the track - then it might be of use.

 

That's why I was asking - I don't think anybody has found one.
Have you searched on this site?
Do you really need a brace, this car is pretty rigid? Unless you're hammering it you probably don't need one.

 

hey i can't read german but how much is it in us dollars for each one. I think it would just look cool to have one.

 

The Racingline Aluminium is 195$ and the carbonfibre is 375$ (without shipping - just the regular EUR price converted to USD)

Both are available on eBay too - look for 370189255937 and 260395128229
They probably deliver worldwide.

But again - I don't know how well they fit. And regarding the SRT - I can't find any information about if they fit on your car - they might only fit on n/a's.

 

It would make sense if our cars had struts??

 

thanks i forgot that the srt engine is taller than the na

 

If you're after performance and handling rather than looks, try the swaybars offered by TVT.

 

SERIOUSLY THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE STRUTS!!!

WTF ARE YOU GOING TO BOLT TO?

On a car with struts the weight of the vehicle on that tire is taken up in the strut tower since the spring is around the strut, our cars are not like that the sping mounts in a pocket.

I could see some benifit if the " brace " mounted to the bolt that mounts the upper control arm but most likely you would see no benifit on a street driven car no matter how hard you think you drive

 

Let me turn to the circuit in Monza, after I'll consider it appropriate to mount stb or not.
thanks and ciao

 

Apologies for bumping a 6 year old thread, but did anyone ever end up purchasing/installing the Wiecher's Sport strut bar? I am looking to purchase one purely for aesthetic purposes. I've had a strut bar on nearly every car I have ever owned and I feel that they dress the engine bay up nicely.

Also, I would imagine that it'll fit both the N/A & SRT models being as the websites I have seen it for sale on do not specify otherwise. Generally if there are fitment issues with a specific model, the manufactuer will include the information.

 

Anyone?

did you ever find out about the brace?

 

Found this front shock tower brace : Wiechers Alu Domstrebe vorne oben für Chrysler Crossfire 3,2l 6Zyl. Bj.2003-2007 Strebe Aluminium Racingline

 

Being aluminum and not straight, I would think I could bend it with my arms. Strength comes from being straight, steel and solid.

 

Yes, I did make 2 post. The first one was a statement where to find it and a link to the website, which did not need a answer . The other post was an inquiry if anyone has installed this, inviting comments such as yours and thank you for your reply

I personally would not mount this 'brace'. One reason, it is awfully close to the top of the engine cover. Second, was holes drilled? If so, I would not wish to drill into the underside of the wheel wells to mount. Again, a few good points here @ no struts in front, the still suspension already there, and my thoughts on 'if' the engine rocks too much on the motor mounts it may knock/rub the cover into the brace. Good luck!

Thanks to all , I'm not going to buy the strut bar when I found out you have to drill holes
