Strut tower brace Q.

interceptor · January 24th, 2008, 12:49 PM

Anyone know of a front strut tower brace that will work with a Whipple SC?

06RedfireGT · January 24th, 2008, 12:51 PM

I think Strange has an extra clearence strut brace.

interceptor · January 24th, 2008, 01:20 PM

Cool, will this all fit under a stock hood?

06RedfireGT · January 24th, 2008, 01:22 PM

I'm not sure, I would imagine so. Maybe call strange and see, or call the retailer.

06VistaGT · January 24th, 2008, 01:31 PM

I haven't heard of any that fit over the whipple.

interceptor · January 24th, 2008, 01:32 PM

Called them, no-go for Strange. They pointed me as Chris Austin, but no luck there either. They talked about Mustangs Unlimited, trying there now...

06VistaGT · January 24th, 2008, 01:36 PM

good luck, hope you find one that works.

I have a strange extra clearance strut tower brace, it rides just up against the hood liner and is about an inch and a half thick, I would say if you have 2 maybe three inches of clearence between the hood and your whipple you are in, what is the clearence?

KenDogg · January 24th, 2008, 08:52 PM

wont a tower brace fit if you put in the prothane motor mounts that drop the engine a 1/2"?

2006greyGT · January 25th, 2008, 12:00 AM

??? what exactly does a strut brace do for the Mustang? It seems kinda overkill unless you are road racing. I just want my 06 to go fast in a straight line.. I take it easy on the corners.

06RedfireGT · January 25th, 2008, 12:55 AM

It just stiffens the body abd suspension up.

07 STROKER · January 25th, 2008, 01:24 AM

i tell ya my k member brace really stiffens up the feel of the car...makes the shifting feel more notchy...little more vibration makes it way through to the shifter as well....I was wondering about a strut brace as well

2006greyGT · January 25th, 2008, 08:34 AM

I don't know if there is one that will fit over a KB SC or not... there doesn't seem to be much clearance...

06VistaGT · January 25th, 2008, 03:46 PM

I have seen Steeda ones that fit over the KB.

prinzzz · January 25th, 2008, 08:19 PM

ford and shelby are workng on one thats supposed to be out mid 08.

06RedfireGT · January 25th, 2008, 11:08 PM

Do all the KB intakes look like that because it is ugly.

06VistaGT · January 26th, 2008, 12:33 PM

Their theory for that intake is to pull colder air from the bottom of the car as opposed to the hot air in the engine compartment like most other blower intakes. Its a sound theory, but not really sure how effective it is.
