Question about Upper Strut Tower Brace

Does this have to be screwed in with a new hole or does it attach to a current part? (I'm thinking the front struts?)

You have to drill holes in order to mount them. It sucks but it's the only way to mount them. If you get one, try to get a 3 point. My fav is the Kenny Brown version.

really sweet Easyspeed would be if you could get an aluminum one and have it anodized blue. That would be really nice. And the two points do absolutely nothing, just for show. If you can get a 3 point then go for it.

STB and SFCs

Try Spohn, or Edelbrock. They are pricey compared to the cheapo Jamex (like mine) but I think the 3 point has more going for it that the two point (Jamex).

Oh yeah, here is some cheap advice -- don't put your money into STB until you have SFCs (sub-frame connectors) installed. I bought my STB cause it was on eBay for $20 so how could I say no ? In fact just today I called the shop again about my SFCs and hope to have them in sometime in September.

my .02 cents worth,
RP.

True, a strut tower brace will do nothing if the rest of the frame is allowed to flex. pick up some SFC's.
