So I'm looking to add a strut tower brace to my 2010 GT. Have a Roush TVS 2300 supercharger and stock GT hood. Wondering if anyone out there can recommend something that is going to fit without any issues. TIA
Thanks for the advise everyone. I am definitely a nub to all this being a 1st time mustang owner. If I'm not going to see any gains in handling and will only be adding weight definitely not what I'm trying to accomplish... Any suggestions for some other low cost but effective mods I should look into to improve handling?

If you haven't done so already, I would recommend looking for a local autocross club. They're typically quite cheap and a lot of fun (not to mention it's easier on the car than a full track). The driver mod will benefit your handling the most. That really is the cheapest mod, especially considering bang for the buck. I pay about $50-$100 for a whole day!
If you really must buy parts (trust me, I know the feeling), new shocks and struts are a good place to start.
I have read views on both sides about STBs. I put a Strange Engineering brace on my '06 GT 'vert, because it is a 'vert. Yes, I think it tightened things up a bit. I have heard the S197s are pretty stiff from the factory. I guess it's your money, keep investigation and do what you feel is best for your car. Good luck.
HUGE IMPROVEMENT
I can't believe how much this tightened everything up in the back of the car. It made a bigger difference than upgrading my rear sway bar. The back is firmly planted and steady in the corners. It even eliminated much of the clunks when driving over steep parking lot entrances.
The install took 2 hours only because getting the nuts on the bolts in the limited space is tricking if you have small fat hands. I didn't have to use a jack as the brace slide right over the shocks without any problem.

The 07-09 gt500kr strut bar should fit. http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-s...0709gt500.html
I have it on my 12' RS3
I put a small piece of the fuzzy side of Velcro on the underside of it above the CAI because although it fits, the STB got hot enough to melt the carbon fiber dipped JLT CAI.
