Best strut tower brace for a 993 C4 cab?

Fabspeed do a GT2 replica (Matter) brace - quality sometimes a bit hit and miss, and again nothing a bit of filing wouldn't sort if needed. That aside it really works and, if you like that sort of thing, is the best looking brace out there (a proper manly brace). Fabspeed have a lot of knockers on this forum (not many speaking from experience as far as I can tell) but this piece of kit does the job - I will admit to some initial displeasure at having to get the file out (10 mins work) but the first drive after the brace was fitted kicked those feelings into touch. Steering feels more taut, nicer turn-in and no more creaky windscreen! Well suited to the AWDs. So in my experience this is the best.

I have a GT2 bar that I lent to Mike J for him to create a replica. You may want to PM him as I think he was going to make a few for the local guys.

Thanks for the suggestion, guys.
Pelican has the Welmeister, a Rennline, a "JM Products" and the aforementioned Fabspeed. The Fabspeed looks like it is a piece of alu pipe beaten down at the ends and drilled through.
I guess my bottom line is I want the most rigid brace money can buy this side of welding the two strut towers together with a piece of rebar!

I will post picts of the prototype in the morning. Its a copy of the EVO-2 GT2 bar but we increased the diameter of the tube...this is really rigid. I was trying to machine some nuts down so we had lots of thread to hold down the bar...its hard to explain but it will be obvious when you see it.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Tom,
Unfortunately, we are out of these now. We only have a couple on a backorder, so I don't have a production date. I will add your info to my list and let you know when we'll have them back in stock.
Thanks,
Sol Snyderman
