Thumbs up V6 Steeda Strut Tower Brace
Dont know if anyone has scoped this out yet but Stangsuspention has a V6 version of there Strut tower brace out now. Its the only V6 version I've come across. Although I'd still prefer a Ford Racing version anyday. Take a look, funny thing is steeda doesnt even list it on there products page.

Default Question...
What exactly is the benefit of using a strut tower brace? I know it "stiffens" but what is the real world payoff?

less flex => better handling & longer life for unibody.

Any strut tower brace will work.

True... but unfortunately given the snail-like speed that Ford Racing moves at it'll be 2008 before they get around to releasing the V-6 strut tower brace.

Sadly that organization could use a few lessons in customer service.
