Buying and installing a Strut Brace kit for my 92 Liberty, would it be worth it?
Just running stock suspension with no plans in lowering it as I travel a fair bit and like the smooth ride how it is.

Worth spending the $215.00, what do you guys think? I know for show they would look good but would they really aid in the handling or make it worse considering I'm just running standard shocks.


Cheers

they make a huge difference to cornering.

I'd definitely recommend one, regardless of your suspension setup.

Really Karl?

I believe its the absolute last thing to do in regards to suspension improvement. You have to pull something like 2G's in a corner before they come into effect.

I have one in both my cars purely for looks.

I've driven stock cars with just a front brace and found they made a huge difference. It depends how hard you push the car really. A good swaybar/set of coilovers wouldn't go astray, but a strut brace can still give benefits.

All a strut brace does is stiffen up the front of the chassis. It may help the car feel a bit more solid under really hard cornering, but should have a negligible effect on the actual handling.

For very similar money you can buy a rear anti-roll (i.e. sway) bar which many consider to be the best bang for buck suspension mod you can do, although it lacks aesthetic qualities of a strut brace.

It will reduce understeer, improve turn in, all with a small compromise to ride comfort. It will not affect the height of the suspension.

Def worth it given the age of the car and plentiful inexpensive options
My car felt more in control on eg off camber sweepers...

I found next to no difference in my gen2 with a whiteline strut bar. Might be different if you have other suspension mods though
