Default suspension and strut tower brace?

Is it worth to buy a strut tower brace? How much does it help? I was wanting to get a set of eibachs pro kit, do they sell a kit that lowers your mustang lower than 1.2" in the front and 1" in the back. Or should i go with that set up, I have an 88 that sits at stock ride height. I was actually just told today that eibach doesn't sell anything lower from blueovalindustries they have a website that sell mustang stuff. I was possibly thinking 1.5" to 1.75" in the front and 1" to 1.5" in the back. Let me know what you think and your suggestions please.

Well, if you have serious power in your car the strut tower brace will help to reduce the flexing, which will prevent serious problems from occurring over time.

Eibach does have kits that go low. Such as the road race kit.

I added a strut tower brace to my 98 and it helped out. If you have subframe connectors IDK if you will notice that much of a difference but if you don't I am sure you will notice that the nose does stay more level in corners.

Strut tower braces came stock on 94/95 gt's. latemodel is a kickass place. I love living an hour away from them.
