Strut Tower Brace

Anyone know where I might be able to pick up a Edlebrock or a G2? Thanks.

You can get the Edelbrock 3-point brace through summmitracing.com for $120. Don't know about the G2.

G2 shock tower brace comes from LG Motorsports.

Their stuff tends to be pricey, but I like their 4-pt brace.

I got the 3-pt brace, I never drilled the holes on the firewall to make it a functional 3-pt, I read something at the BMR Fabrication website, and their discussions as to why BMR doesn't make 3-pt braces themselves...Very interesting reading.
BMR's thoughts on 3-pt/4-pt braces is that the sheet metal of the firewall is a weak point, and has caused the windshields to "crack" while driving through the corners hard, so BMR doesn't think the center bracing is necessary...

And neither do other quality STB manufacturers and designers.

BMR and Global West STB's are your best choices.

Slight editing, but I think I make my point.
