I was also talking about the front. Hence mustang front strut tower. Anyway, and I think I ended up saying something about the rear having springs under the car which would mean no flex. Our front strut towers are against the firewall. Very strong, welded into a corner. I see no need for a front strut tower brace on these cars. They are stiff.
I have seen so many gimmicks for the sport compact world, you could have thought I was talking about a rear brace or something. You always have to throw the "it could be purchased on ebay aspect" into mind on these forums it seems. As in, I could see someone buying a bar with to heim joints and two mounts and bolting them to the rear wheel wells and calling it structure. Sorry if I sound whiny, long crappy day of wiring fun... Measure twice cut once, know what I mean? It just seems people are quick to jump the gun.

Well fedex sucks. They guessed wrong. You think they would be able to have a good idea of how long something would take to get to someone, you know being the idea of the entire company...

Took a little ride and roll is basically gone. I love it. Very nice improvement. It's not as visible as I thought it was going to be, only if you stick your head under the car. lol You prob wouldn't notice it just standing there, especially on a dropped car. I'll post pics later.
