Sickest front Strut brace.. $159...
I just ordered this front strut brace from Elke at Cup-Sport in Germany (rollercoasters@freenet.de) the makers of all the trick alu-parts. It's on special until the end of this month for $159 plus shipping.. (it totaled 192) It's really well put together and I've been eyeing these for a while from Porsche motorsport, Brey-Krause ( I had a carbon one from them in my 964) This is by far the best looking one at the best price I have seen.. Just thougt I'd let ya know....

Nice photos, thanks for the heads up...that's a great price. It looks like it has some adjustment that is possible. Does it just bolt right in or does it require some adjustments to get it right ?

Looks like my Steve Wong strut brace. Hey, what's up with the $600 strut brace on eBay? Why is that price even possible? Gold plated? Another one has bids over $400.

PO had it installed. I can vouch for its effectiveness (although as a turtle, I can hardly measure it)
Install looks very easy; you guys can roll up your Eng degrees!
It is indeed adjustable.

Nice looking part. But the most effective front strut tower brace is the GT2 one piece version that Gert sells.

It is better because it is one piece with no joints that will flex or move.
Also look how much more flush the GT2 bar would be to the shock top mounts. The bar pictured here is a good couple inches higher than the strut top and IMO that increase the chance of it flexing.
It probably isn't a huge difference but for my money, I would get the GT2 bar.

I assume you are kidding around. Right?
