I thought that it wouldn't do anything and that it just looked cool but I was wrong. The car handels waaay better around curves and the turning radius is tighter...

The strong yet lightweight CNC machined aluminum strut tower brace improves rigidity at the strut towers for sharper handling and improved steering response. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum, the surface features precision-machined ribs over extremely durable textured black powder coating. The cosmetic design of the strut brace is consistent with the engine covers for a look that shouts “high performance”, while appearing as if it might have come from the factory.

When you state it has a tighter turning radius, do you think this is the benefit of less flex on the chassis while negotiating a turn? Seems odd it would improve handeling in that respect!

Tower stut bars make a box out of the suspension set up, they complete the top.
This allows a tighter radius in most cases...
