Default Engine Brace/Strut Tower

I am trying to find an Engine Brace or Strut tower or a 2005 GT Cruiser.

BTG's supplier of the Shock Tower is no longer making them, I contacted Wyckoff but they said that 'PT Cruiser Strut Tower bar' the Turbo version will not fit the GT.

I prefer the look and size of BTG's Shock Tower brace, does anyone have any suggestions?

I do intend to get the anti-sway bars but this will be in addition and something I want to do now.

Thanks for any suggestions!

the only one i recommend is the wildfire from race and street... good stuff.

you will have to modify the solenoid bracket but that's fairly easy.

I sold my BTG Aluminum bar in favor of the Wildfire Chrome moly steel bar, a lot stiffer, stronger bar, and has a nice powder coated finish, and does not rub the hood insulation like the BTG did when it flexed on hard turns.
