which the type of strut tower brace would work better? this one?
(http://www.sullivandata.com/jules/cleanengine.jpg)
or this one?(http://www.michiganmustang.com/newgallery/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=926&g2_serialNumber=1)
the second one looks like someone had a few heim joints laying around lol. I have the ford racing one for sale
do you have any pics?
I have one on my Bird ( made for a Stang,fit like a glove),but it's different than both of those.Close to the first one,but a little different.I found out that I can still swap heads and intake without removing it.....which is good.
the second picture is pretty close to what i have made. I am just wondering if it will brace the strut towers the same or better then the first strut tower brace.
The stuff going to the core support is pretty useless....
Burn the second one.
Use the first one.
this is the one I have

will get actual pics if needed
what about thickness of a strut tower brace does that make a differance?
I'm guessing you mean wallthickness of the tubing? To a point. A larger diameter tube would be stiffer though.
I like the Maximum Motorsports one. If I was shopping for a new STB, THAT is the one I would buy.
This may be a silly question, but wouldn't heim joints be...ummm, worthless in such an application?
They can be useful say going between the strut towers to help resist in/outward movement of them, but they are neigh useless in resisting any kind of twisting forces.
