Convertible Strut Tower Brace

Has anyone priced the convertible strut tower brace? I wonder if there are any fitment issues installing one on the coupe?

This. They made some changes so it will actually bolts on to the 2011+ cars. The 2010 cars will have to use an aftermarket bar.

Yes it doesn't directly work on the 2010's. I'm going to try this shortly myself on the SS.

Gene if your good with a band saw and a grinder you won't have a problem. If you check cnc shops you might be able to get billet left overs to make a spacer to get it to fit

The Pfadt brace will. You just need to use a few washers as spacers.
