I recently purchased a Ford Motorsport strut tower brace for my 90GT vert. The instructions say that it may be necessary to remove the A/C line and other ignition related wiring to install. Can anyone give me any advice and/or post a pic or a link to one? I searched but couldn't find anything definitive. Thanks

They are really not too hard to install.

Every STB is made a little different.

Just set it down on the strut towers and see if it clears everything OK. If not move what you need to make it work.

Here is a picture of one on a friends car. Not sure of the manufacturer.

Hope this helps.

You will need to remove the coil cover, coil and bracket, and perhaps the mass air sensor mounting bracket as well. The a/c line will be fine and fit between the intake manifold and and strut tower brace.

Ummmm. OK.

I was just showing you the benifits of having one.

They have to work... I don't have one and I cracked my windshield last summer from the body flex in the front of my car. Come spring time, I need a new windshield and a strut tower brace.

Verts are prone to flex a lot. Good investment srothfuss!
