Just arrived..

Front and rear strut tower braces.:D
The fronts are a bolt on but the rear is a weld type. I'll have pics up of the front installation tomorrow. It has to be massaged into place with the K&N CAI and I really don't wanna mess with it tonight.

These should keep the car nice and flat on launch.

Nice Don!

I'd like to run a Mach 1....never have.....

[socalmach]

Basically get everything out of the way. Line it up where you want it and mark the holes. I used a grease pencil but a marker would be just as good.

It's fairly easy to do. Except the massaging part.:mad:
Don't listen to anyone that says that's all it takes. The 2 point will not fit with a K&N or JLT intake. I'm waiting on some pics of a guy that cut off 2 inches from the end of the inlet pipe and that is supposed to let it work.

I'm always up for a run but I'm slowGMUSTANG

Gonna pull the back seats tomorrow to get the rear brace installed and welded up.

Any recommendation on where to go? It takes 6 1" welds 3 on each side of the car.

I've got a mig welder.

[socalmach]

MIG or TIG would work. Thanks.

Got everything bolted up and holy mother of jesus what a difference!!!
The rear used to dip right when launching but now (insert huge smile here)
it just squats nice and flat. Can't wait to get the front one finished mounted up.

I'll post up pics tomorrow it's way too hot outside.

Got the rear strut brace welded in today. Pics tomorrow too much rain right now.

Finally done with both. I had to cut off about a 1 1/2 inches of my cold air kit (the part that connects to the throttle body) to get it in there.

looks sweet! bet it handles much better!

Went on a better test drive today.:thumbsup:

Newtown South exit (all of it) at 55 mph. Could have gone much faster but I was topping out 2nd gear. The car was stupid stable. It was good with just SFCs but now it's just a different beast.

Time for the donut test
