Does anyone have any pics of their front strut tower braces, and how hard it was to install.
Thanks for any help.

Sho-Shop has a drill free one that attaches to the strut bolts that is very easy to install. Others require precise drilling on the shock towers!

-Andy ive heard that the sho shop one is a bad idea though. ive heard, i think, that some people snapped the top of their struts, because that's the wrong place for the strut bar to be mounted.... i might be wrong, but i dont think so....

Here's a pic of my engine bay. Its the OMP. The only problem I ran into was with the pipe. I eventually pushed it behind, other than that everything was easy. Just used self tapping screws.  Hope that helps! PS: I think the Cougar guys were just having a GB for this at $89 shipped. I bought it for $99 shipped from www.ompwins.com

Hmm...Hard to say, I didn't really notice much. Other than some increased steering response. I like the looks of it though and it wasn't too much $ so I guess its cool with me.

Here's mine, in Ford Engine Blue.  I noticed a big improvement in turn-in with mine. Definitely worth the money for me.

How much do they run? Does the bar fit all contours?

Hmmm, so increased turn-in and a little better response in steering... any other benefits/comments?? I was hoping the brace would reduce (even if just a little bit) the diving front end under hard cornering...?
Also, what parts of my warranty could I be voiding by doing this?
