I didn't realize how dirty this car is until I took these pictures at night. But anyway, shown in red are the Cravenspeed Strut Tower Defenders (STD). Whether they will function as advertised is pending a suspension once-over and a force diagram. So, what is it that they are supposed to do? Well, repeated high-g loading (read: potholes) deforms the strut towers (3rd pic) and this results in sloppy suspension feel. If it gets bad enough, the mounts can break. I was charged $400 once to fix it; if some stupid pieces of aluminum can prevent that, I'm all for it. I figure I'm going to be driving on a lot of pot-holed and frost-heaved Upstate NY and Vermont roads this winter, so now is a good time to do it.
