Default Tower Strut and Cowl Shake

Has anyone added a Tower strut bar and notice a reduction
in Cowl Shake on the convertibles? Just wondering if it helped
as well as inmproved handling?

I have both a tower strut bar and the CDC light bar....and I felt a noticeable reduction in cowl shake. It really seemed to stiffen the frame a bit.

i just put a shelby strut brace from a.m. on my coupe and i wasnt expecting much but wow i am amazed at the difference it made. theres a post in here about a 3 point strut brace for verts, sounds like it might be even better for the verts.
