Sounds like a good deal, you have a link to it by chance?

 

Thanks. I'll probably just do the sway then. Although, I think having a STB over your engine looks pretty bad ***.

 

A $75 STB is just that, a $75 STB.
You get what you pay for and not all
STBes are made equal.
Some are for looks only and some actually
function as a strut tower brace.
Stay away from any with SLOTTED mounting holes.
Slots dont equal stiffness. They indicate not being
able to hold a tolerance when it was manufactured.
Shelby makes one thats fully functional AND looks good.

 

The three point strut tower brace will give you the best chassis support IMO.

 

Yes, Edelbrock make a mean 3 point brace that fully funcional.

S197.

What ya mean by slotted? I hope that^ aint slotted!

 

Oh, those mounting holes are slotted.
Look closely to the mounting SLOTS.
And the use of only two attaching bolts per strut tower?
Gotta use all 8 for any hope of rigidity.
You got the slot from BlueOval.

 

i got slotted so hard i think my butt hurts.. o well it better be pretty

 

I have a strut brace from a 2010 Mustang if anybody is interested, you'll need a taller aftermarket hood if you want it thought.

 

The strut brace will not do much but improve the look of your engine bay........slightly. If you don't have a rear sway bar you need to get one.

Look at many hi-po cars. How many of them do you see having strut braces? I know mine doesn't. But it does have a pretty beefy sway bars.
