Default Strut Tower Brace

Hey, I just got done installing the Trick Flow kit on my 1995 mustang gt and the strut tower brace will not fit now. What should I do? Leave it off or should i do some modifications to it to make it work, The only thing is i dont know if it will fit under my hood with it on? Does it do any harm to the car with it off?

It wont do any harm, but you will feel a difference in handling! I took mine off my car cause it wont fit with the S/C and I noticed a big difference. You might try to find a diff one that will fit.

I have heard on SN95s the strut brace doesn't do anything for handling.

When i took mine off of my 94 to change a few hoses, i forgot to put it back on. The only way i could tell it wasnt on was when i drove up my driveway and saw it on the side of my house.

I think it makes more difference on a fox cause SN 95's have stiffer chasis
