    New to the Challenger and the forum. Has anyone used a front strut tower brace on a R/T and recommend one?

    I put one on my 2010 and noticed a difference on cornering right away.
    I am running SRT8 struts and springs, the strut brace seemed to tighten it up even more.

    I have a front and rear brace on my RT classic. Corners very flat. Car really tied together. No impact to ride quality.

    Very curious about this, springs, and sway bar upgrades also. Coming from a WRX, the Challenger is just a bit more, "comfy" in the corners than I'm used to.

    Does it take the corners better then your WRX?

    Unfortunately, no. But in all fairness, I've not driven another car that does. Love the comfy cruising of the Challenger though, can't complain one bit about that. But just a little more confidence with my particular driving style would be nice :emotions33:

    Front and rear strut braces will help. Bigger sway bars will help some more.

    But the Challenger will have to go on a heckuva diet to get down to the WRX's fighting weight
