I am looking for a strut brace for the front. I can't find any that are wide enough for the car. I know they come on SVTs , but do they come on any others?
In case of confusion... I am talking about the bar that goes under the hood.

Sorry, I was told by a local SVT owner that they do.

I've heard alot of people say that too. The rear bar seems to be where its at on these cars.

Most say the front brace doesn't do that much,They say the rear does much more which it probably does.The front strut towers are so close to the fire wall and are very integrated into the frame.The rear towers have very little support on them.Personally I could feel that the front end was much tighter after installing the front brace.But my car is lowered with koni yellows and 225's so the brace will have a more pronounced effect.
