The problem is, most place force you to buy both! Correct me if I'm wrong.

For what it's worth, when I was in Castle Rock a few years ago and had
time to visit with Dennis and Adam at Pantera Performance Center,
Dennis essentially told me the same thing about the front trunk brace
(as I recall). That it really wasn't necessary and only served to
reduce the amount of usable space in a street car that was only
occasionally tracked or open road raced. I believe his recommendation
was to not bother with it for most purposes.

Quoting Larry Stock <larrys at panteraparts.com<mailto:larrys at panteraparts.com>>:
If one actually was an engineer and analyzed this brace, it is utterly
useless. It braces the shear wall construction already built into the
upper A-Arm mounting points. Not much movement here with the factory job.
Lots of help is needed down below to take the twist out of the lower A-Arm
supports. Larry

Others seem to have managed to bolt it in, sitting very low in the
trunk (less than an inch between brace and trunk floor). To be
functional it should sit directly behind the upper shock mounts.

I am currently working on the front trunk area and I am trying to
figure out
the best way to mount the triangular upper brace (the part sold by
Precision
ProFormance). The mounting plates have four bolt holes but it looks
like I
would not be able to get bolts to work as they would conflict with the
upper
suspension mounting rail. I am thinking the best solution may be to
plug
weld those holes from the trunk side. Can anyone share their experience
installing these plates?
Thank you,
John
