Granatelli Strut tower brace

[SonicGT]

Well, I just ordered this up. They said its black or royal blue, so figured royal blue would match close enough, although they were willing to custom paint it for some additional cash. It looks alot like the strange single bar strut brace, its supposed to clear the new engine cover as well, we shall see since I am ordering one of those as well. Got the brace for $50 + Shipping directly from them.
I'll post some photos once I get it and install it.

Got the brace today. Looks good, almost just like the Strange one. It is heavier though. The box said 4lbs from UPS. It has aporx 3/4" clearance above the plenum. I should be getting my cover next week so will see if it fits or not.
Don't know if its my mind or what, but I seem to notice a big difference with the brace. Can really tell when going over the curb of my driveway. I didn't think it would be that noticable. Then again it may just be all in my mind, LOL

Yeah, about the same clearance as the Stange Bar. Watch your hood liner. Strange Developement got back to me and indicated that the rubbing depends on how much each individual hood liner is sagging. They said some cars exhibit the rubbing, others do not. ???? Dunno how true that is but keep an eye on yours with the Granatelli Bar.
The driveway curb was the biggest difference I noticed early as well. In our mind, maybe???
By the way, the driveway curb stiffness feel diminished after I added the STEEDA G-Trac Bar and front sway bar braces. Leads me to believe that just the addition of the top brace leaves the lower suspension flex to be more noticable. Tieing the lower K-member together with the mentioned STEEDA parts tightens up the front end and seems to allow the suspension to do all the work, not the chassis. It did work well on the track last weekend.

Looks good, but what happened to the Royal Blue?!

They called me before it shipped and guess they had done away with doing any blue, and the guy who took my order didn't know yet. They only have black powdercoated now. I could have paid them to paint it sonic blue for an additional $70, but figured I would just go with the black at that point. And for only $50 couldn't complain too much. I may eventually get it painted, waiting til I get my engine cover to see how it all looks together.
