strut tower brace that doesnt require drilling?

Is there a STB on the market these days that doesnt require drilling into the wheel well? Maybe something that uses the bolts from the upper strut mount

Re: strut tower brace that doesnt require drilling?

I know the UMI one works off the two bolts on the struct mount but their STB looks like poop. For some reason, i really like the look of how my old Hotchkis brace looked. Im wondering if I could just make new mounts for it and utilize the strut mounts like the UMI one.

I have the mac one.. here are some pics (keep in mind, old pics from 2008, however the bar still looks like new and cleans up very nice with a rag and water!)

ps. I have J&M strut mounts, and they fit great.. it did feel tighter once installed.
