I considered many but the fact that the MM supports each strut tower individually towards the firewall and together horizontally.[h=1]Mustang Strut Tower Brace Tech[/h]                  Stiffen the front portion of the chassis with a Strut Tower Brace. Handling will improve, becoming more stable and predictable.  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unique design provides a load path between the two  individual strut towers, and back to the firewall. This keeps the strut  towers from moving relative to each other. Flexing of the strut towers,  both fore/aft and side-to-side, causes unpredictable handling because  the flexing causes alignment changes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Increased chassis rigidity from the strut tower brace will reduce firewall and dashboard vibration, metal fatigue, and noise.</li> </ul>   Maximum Motorsports Strut Tower Brace features: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">STB main tubes are made of rigid 1-1/4" diameter DOM tubing.  This tubing is twice as stiff as the generally used 1" tubing, and DOM  tubing is 30% stiffer than the more commonly used ERW, seamed tubing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The brace rear support tubes bolt to the pinchweld that runs the  width of the firewall. When attaching to sheet metal, the best mounting  point is at a joint or a corner, such as the Mustang firewall  pinchweld. This pinchweld is formed by folding and welding three pieces  of metal (the upper firewall, the lower firewall, and the cowl floor)  together. This provides an extremely stiff mounting point for our Strut  Tower Brace.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nearly all other strut tower braces attach to the very center of  the firewall, its weakest and most flexible portion. Attaching there  adds little stiffness, and leads to cracking and tearing of the  firewall.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">On 5.0L Mustang engines, MM Strut Tower Braces allow the use of  all popular intake manifolds because no part of the brace passes over  the top of the intake manifold.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Designed to allow the use of MM Caster/Camber plates.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attached with high quality grade 5 hardware.</li> </ul></blockquote>
