Default Strut brace

Front tower strut brace

I purchased a Meghan tower strut brace. Has anyone put a front strut brace on their car. A Meghan or a different brand?
also is there an aftermarket strut cap? That will be able to still work with the strut brace?

Shock Tower Brace (STB) here:

On a car with Shocks, an STB really does not add much stiffness like it does on a car equipped with Struts.

Welcome to the site - Lot's of GREAT information here

No Comment. Asked about the Adaptive Suspension compatibility once before and got a beating.

There is already a 4-point strut brace on the RCF so it would not be a noticeable difference with an aftermarket one.

Maybe look into Tom's Racing or the RR-Racing front braces. They connect to the firewall too, along with connecting the towers.

Any brace that doesn't connect to the factory firewall points is doing a disservice tbh. Factory will do much better than strut to strut brace.

RR Racing brace for me in the near future.
