Strut tower brace question

[David Dorr]

There's a SHO Shop strut tower brace on ebay I'm considering bidding on, but it's for a '94. Will it work on my '90?

 

[SHOtimer]

Yes, they are all the same. Unless it is a rear strut brace with a bend for the subwoofer.

No, it's the front.

 

[SHOtimer]

Then, IIRC it should fit all Gen I and Gen II's.

Yup, it'll work, but you'll have to lose the stock hood supports.

Loosing the stock hood supports is nothing compared to how much it will stiffen up your front end! Go for it!

 

[David Dorr]

Yeah, I'm not really worried about the hood supports. I emailed the guy and he said he'd include the aluminum prop rod that the SHO Shop includes with the STB if I win the auction.

There used to be someone on here that made kits to relocated the stock hood struts to work with a front strut tower brace.

Adam Varney made kits to relocate the hood struts. I don't know if he still does

The front really don't do anything, the strut towers are close enough to the firewall as is. The back do help quite a bit from what I've heard though.
