JimD Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 No OEM brace available for the rear. You will have to fabricate from scratch and give up considerable trunk space. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonA Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Anyone know off-hand if the G-chassis DeVilles had the same strut-to-strut dimensions, so this same part would work? In other words, I put one of these on my '01 STS...should I take it off and save it for a DeVille, or won't it fit? Edit: I suppose it'd be a pretty easy mod, even if the dimensions weren't exactly the same. I could have the brace cut, and a piece of tubular steel welded in to make up the difference.

JimD Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Won't work Jason. The Deville interior space is larger as a result of the cabin being moved forward several inches. Those several inches means that the firewall is closer to the radiator and that places the brake master cylinder in the path of the strut brace. Sorry. I looked at the fit and decided it was not worth the effort/cost to pursue. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Okay, thanks for that info, Jim. Much appreciated. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 ....Those several inches means that the firewall is closer to the radiator and that places the brake master cylinder in the path of the strut brace.... A correction is in order. I should have said "the windshield is closer to the strut tower". The 1998-2004 Seville chassis shares many design features with the 2000-2005 Deville chassis. But there are differences and the pain is in the details. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ahhh! The strut tower brace........best mod I ever made to my old '99 STS. Is there anything similar available for the new DTS? My '08 is Good........I'm just wondering if it could possibly benefit from the addition of a similar brace? Do the Performance models have a front brace installed? Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
