if you take out the strut tower brace on the front with odes it effect the alignment at all? mines rusting up a bit and i'd like to take it off grind the rust off and put some new pain on it, thats why im asking

Strut tower braces wont affect alignment. They are intended to stiffen up the front end sway package and keep the struts more rigid when cornering. Just don't do any aggressive cornering at high speeds and you'll be fine.

ok, thanks
