I like steeda strut tower braces. There is not really alot to them though so any name brand should be fine. I just like to buy from companies that build and race cars not just build parts like alot of the copycats do.

Why wouldn't you want one that ties into the firewall? I have one like that and am curious why I wouldn't want it? Haven't had any problems with it. I think I got it from FRPP.

The 4 bolt design is better, but I haven't had any problems out of mine, and it has been on there for a couple years and has seen approximately 20 track passes. It definetely made a difference you could feel.
