Re: strut tower brace......

I have the SLP 2-point [same as BMR, UMI, ect]. It also makes a great handle to hold when working on the motor. You MIGHT have to jack up the front of the car a little if the strut brace doesn't go down over the bolts at first. Jacking up the front with the bolts loose will alow them to recess into the shock tower a little to allow the brace to slide over them. Then just set the car down and tighten the nuts.

BTW, I have the OEM SS hood, and my standard 2 point STB works just fine. I don't have the intake hooked up to the ram air though. I have a K&N FIPK CAI, and use the ram air to cool the engine instead.

I have an SS hood made from Suncoast creations, and the original strut tower brace was a BMR 2 point. The hood would rest 1.5 inches from being closed on the brace. After changing it to a Hotckiss, it closed just fine. Obviously there are different hoods, and braces. My particular combo did not work.
