strut tower brace questions

[Dave Ladely]

wonder if anyone uses carbon fiber tubing with SS or Aluminum ends, would be very rigid but light, and look great. I think ShoSho quit offering them.
Also, stainless or certainly titanium tubing would be more rigid than aluminum but not heavy.
wonder if anyone has tried titanium bicyle tubing? Seems like a natural!!

SPmotorsports still has them listed. If it isn't just a error that they havn't pulled it yet. That what I was looking at too, Taurus is heavy anything I can do to not add to that is good.

www.summitracing.com Search for "summit rod ends" I had a tough time finding them locally too. I ended up getting used ones from a snowmobile repair shop.

Just an FYI here on materials and weights. The steel STB's I make weigh in at 8 lbs. each, including the plates.
