Shock tower brace ?

Has anyone installed one of the shock tower braces from Carli or Defiant? Do they mount to the original shock tower? How are they mounted? I am interested in getting one of these but am not sure if it will fit.

Only works with Carli's shock towers.

Last time I was there (about two weeks ago) they were working on a new shock tower brace....like everything else, it's over-engineered. Seems a couple people (namely CT) were able to bend the old one......

Thanks, I was hoping that they would fit the stock tower.

Wow if the brace got bent the towers must have been flexing big time. I doubt that I will ever need one but I just like the way it looks. I wonder it it has any effect on reducing death wobble. The one from Defiant looks like it might fit the stock shock towers.

I asked Paul about making me one to work with Don Thuren's towers a few months ago. He was going to get together with Victor and see what they could come up with. Would be cool if this one will work with Don's towers.
