strut tower braces on mustangs work. I like the MMS one, it uses the factory holes in the pinch weld along the fire wall (this is a very strong area) and is a very nice piece. There are others out there that bolt to the flat area of the fire wall in front of the cowl opening. I have seen pics of tearing of the sheet metal from the bar flexing, this is a weaker area but it also could be the design of the bar causing it, not sure but it doesn't seem like the best way to mount a strut bar. I also have the 4 point K brace from MMS, something else to look at since this is another movement area in the fox. another option that is often overlooked is a panhard bar, I kinda view it has a brace in a way. The other braces described work great to tighten the chassis which we know is pretty floppy and with the increased chassis stiffness it sometimes brings out the other weak areas never felt like rear axle movement or rear steer under hard cornering (a product of the 4 link suspension even with improved arms). The pan hard bar locks in the rearend has far as side to side axle movement goes and compliments the improved chassis/suspension, this is an option though and something to think about has a piece to the puzzle.

Have you swapped out the stock Springs and struts??? I'm using H&R Springs with Tokico Illuminas on my Convertible....Night and day difference.

What Sub frames are you using???? Do they go from the Rear Torque Box to the Firewall? Full Length? Maximum Motorsports makes an awesome XL Sub frame. You can add material to the sub frames and tie it in with the front and rear. Also you can have your K Member welded in. Do you have Torque Box reinforcement plates??? Everything counts.
