STRUT TOWER BRACE

[soonercruiser]

Now, several cruisers suggested that a strut tower bar/brace be the new vert's first significant mod. Most of the ones I have seen are just a tubular bar with two mounting bolts.
Pappy's has a larger honeycomb one that mounts with 3 bolts, and comes with all the mounting brackets to move the appropriate parts out of the way.
What do you guys think of this? Will it fit the 2006? :dunno

BTG GT Turbo Shock Tower Brace

I doubt that you will find that bar anywhere, it has been discontinued for about 6 or 8 months, not just from the vendors, but the manufacturer stopped making them, all that are available for us are the tubular ones and they will work just fine, you only need the relocation brackets if you have a turbo, and you can modiify your stock speed control servo bracket bracket with a dremel tool if you have one, I just sold a bar like that because i bought a tubular version because it is out of the way more for engine work.

so if that bar is discontinued where else can i look for a Strut Bar will a non turbo one work.
I see the selinoids have to move.

Nevin,
There is a strut bar made for the turbo. But, it is chrome.
