strut tower brace questions.

demighost · 08-27-2009, 10:37 AM

sup guys I have a steeda 3 point strut tower brace right now. I haven't gotten motivated enough to install it. I saw on american muscle they have a 03-04 cobra 2 point strut brace. Will it fit under the stock hood? or should I just go ahead and install mine? I don't see the need for the firewall connection as it just seems to be the weakest point

I would use the 3 point, the 2 point is worthless and still allows lateral flex.

yep. Total pain in the ass to install then you have to remove it to do most anything under the hood but it is definitely worth the pain.

Eh, I am not so sure about that. for a project in one of my engineering classes we have to do a project designing something so I am going to take a stab at designing a bar that I think will do a better job of reducing any flex that there may be... and be able to pretty much use any intake.

should be a fun project.

With the cobra brace you can fit an eaton sized blower. With my idea pretty much everything should fit.
