Hi

Wondering if the strut tower brace from a 2010-up v8 will fit a 2011 v6 car?

Or is the v6 brace a different design altogether?

LOL Well, isnt every drive really a road course?

We got the base v6 and now are looking for upgrades for our pony.

Just ordered the fog light kit from starkey.

I don't know the answer to your original question however....


I think I'd be putting money towards performance mods that have been identified and bang-for-the-buck upgrades before I started beefing up a strut tower that doesn't need it, for normal driving conditions.

Power Adder.

Thanks

That will come in time. Right now looking at the low hanging fruit.

I like to rail around corners and I feel this will add to the performance. Plus it makes the underhood area look cool. LOL

My first major upgrade to the car has been to locate and purchase a GT spare with tools/jack. Thats on the way.

It appears to me that the GT bar's center is not raised as much as with the v6, so I am assuming that could be due to clearance issues. ??
