Does it just bolt to the strut tower bolts? Meaning no drilling etc?

no drilling it mounts right to your strut mounts using stock hardware.it took me all of 5 minuites to install.it may not be the heaviest of duties but for the price it's heavy duty enough.

I like the no drilling idea

Did you find it firmed up your front end after you got it installed?

that's the one.the only problem that i have had with this on a TPIed motor is that the very front pass. side corner of the plenum rubs on the brace.but it's so small really can't tell untill you get your face right on it
