I found one for a 850. now its just getting to the point to where having this silver bar across my struts would make sense... lol

I actually DID notice a difference when I installed it. I have this certain g-force inducing corner on the way home everyday. After I installed the strut bar the car maintained speed better through the corner and didnt feel like it was slouching into itself (if that makes sence). Also, like a lot of 850s, my dash mounts were broken and I could hear the whole dash creak everytime I cornered hard. It helped eliminate this noise. In my opinion its worth every bit of the $50.

1. I maintain speed by keeping foot on pedal..
2. if it helps the squeaks im all for it!

50$ = less noise... yeah im so there.

I'm thinking of this too actually...better handling for $50 sounds like a good deal(not to mention less squeaking)...but there are better ones out there...OMP strut brace...is the best brace on the market...Matthew1 has it...but it's much more pricey 4x at least....penny up or go cheap that is the question
