Default Adding factory strut tower brace to 2011 GT, a couple of questions...

I am going to buy the factory strut tower brace from Ford to add to my 2011 GT. Is there a certain tq the bolts need to be tightened to? I assume you can use the bolts that are already in place?

Measure the bolt size and then torque to standard for that size. See your Chilton's or do a web search.

[edit] If it is the strut upper mount nut, 26 ft-lbs.

Where in Texas are you? I just bought a Roush M-90 and am being told my factory strut tower brace wont fit with the supercharger so it looks like I'll have one to sell.

I'm close to Austin so if you are interested and semi close maybe we can make a deal and save you some $$$.
