It looks pretty serious. I've got a kind of standard version but I think the
only ones that logically can provide serious improvement are "triangulated between the strut towers and the center of the fire wall. To me, if you don't 'close' the triangle (in other words, if you just connect the strut towers to the firewall w/o also connecting the towers themselves or you just connect the towers) you can't really accomplish much.

Much to my surprise, it caused a marked reduction in cowl shake when installed correctly. As far as bang for the buck on a street driven car it was a big winner. This is not to say that a more sophisticated and robust design might not be even *better*. |
