Default strut tower brace and shaker

I plan on doing some suspension work next winter, and i also love the shaker hood looks. but i care more about performance (turning, i know the shaker doesnt do anything for HP). i've looked at a few pictures and as far as i can tell, you can't have both can you? but i've also heard the strut tower brace isn't all needed because the care is pretty stiff already. so i'm kind of stuck...can it be done?

I think it depends. From what I have read about the Braces is not many people have noticed that big of a difference. The biggest difference is going to be from actually lowering your car, so with that...

I dropped mine with the Eibach Pro spring kit, and I am more than happy with the cornering ability. I am sure that the strut tower brace would look cool when you lifted the hood and the Shaker would look cool all the time. I think they are both going to have the same performance enhancement in their respective areas, which isn't very much. I am sure if you were into Pro-Autocross the brace would be the better bet. So I say SHAKER BABY!!! Americn Muscle has them with free shipping. Can't beat that.
