Upper strut bar.....does it make a difference 200

Bill,

The GT braces you refer to were original equipment equipment on the '79 GT. They tie the strut tower to the firewall. They do help. The biggest help is a transverse brace (strut to strut). They make a big improvement as previously described. The design that flexes the least is the best. Before you add a strut brace, make sure the rest of the front suspension is up to spec.
