Strut Tower brace
Has anyone out there tackled a front strut tower brace project out there? It seems as though it'd be easy enough to rig some type of system up but does anyone know of any kits or anything? Any input appreciated.

Re: Strut Tower brace
I have an adjustable Jamex on my 86 4000CSQ and it seems to be a quality piece. It is a 3 piece affair with an adjustable piece in the middle. The only drawback is that it makes getting the battery out a bit tougher,but I plan on relocating the battery to the trunk.

Re: Strut Tower brace
I have a Jamex I've never installed on my car. While it is a quality piece as noted previously, I don't see that it will do much more than clutter up the engine bay. If you look at the location of the strut towers are in relation to the firewall, there isn't a lot of opportunity for flex.
It's also a PITA to install, as you have to drill through a double wall of high strength steel to install bolts or studs to attach it, and usually the struts have to be removed to accomplish this.
Debating if I want to sell mine or not, actually.
