What are strut tower braces and who makes them?
Strut tower braces are usually metal braces that span across the front and rear shock towers to reinforce the body and increase overall rigidity of the body. Typically, the have metal rings on the end and mount to the same bolts that hold the shocks on. STBs prevent the shock towers from flexing under heavy suspension stresses in order to increase handling and preserve correct suspension geometry under spirited driving. Plus, they look cool.
