Default Another tower strut brace question

Hi, my 04 gt ragtop comes stock with subframe connectors, I would like to add a two point tower brace (strut to strut). After an exhaustive online search. it seems that the 3 point (strut to strut to firewall) is the only type available for the 04.
My questions are
1. any one know if the two point is available.
2. if I use the three point do I need to have the car aligned after install.

You do not need to get an alignment after the 3 point strut brace.

I got a Steeda chrome moly 3 point and it attaches to the tower head but you have to drill the holes your self.
This one does not require you to take off the strut bolts therefore no risk of knocking the strut from its current position.

it takes about an hour for the whole install.... i noticed the front end of the car much stiffer after install.

Thanks a mil.
Thats what I was hoping to inprove the cornering / handling.
Sometimes it feels like I'm driving a jar of jello.
Have any vert owners swapped out the stock sub frame for after market full lenght
