[Shotimes] alu strut tower brace for sale

[Carl Prochilo]

Never seen this particular brace before.

Will it work on an MTX?  I know the ATX cars have the motor further
forward in the bay.

Is this a noticeably significant handling improvement on the Gen2 body for
a SHO that has been lowered with Tokico/Eibachs, has ASFB and poly tension
strut bushings and anti-sway bar bushings?
