Strut tower brace recommendations?

Based on fit and construction, which strut tower brace do you like?

I am only running a 2.3 in my 90 convertible, so big torque power is not the issue. I am just trying to reduce the cowl shake inherant with the convertibles. A little better cornering would be a side benefit.

Thanks
 
ARRRGHHHH! Be careful with buying a strut tower brace!!!! "I know from experiance dude, if ya now what I mean" (<-Billy Madison Quote, Chris Farely). I had a 87 with a 2.3 and bought a kenny brown strut tower brace. I was so excited. Then I had a shop install it. They charged a lot of money to do it and when I got the car back it made the worst noise in the entire world. It sounded like my engine was going to explode. It turns out that the brace was grinding against my alternator!!!! The 2.3 is on the opposite side than the 5.0 and this makes it hit. I dont know if all braces are exactly the same, but dont buy a kenny brown.. I had the guy put a little insulation from a hose on the brace but I traded a grinding for a bad vibration. So a week later I took it off the car and stored it. The Worst $160 I ever spent, not including installation. Good news it that put it on my 93 5.0 and I now love it to death. It tightened up the chassis and made turning better and I bet it would help the convertable better. Well , enough of my babbling, good luck and dont get the kenny brown! :banana:
