These will offer the best protection against any chassis flex when installed between the two strut towers. This results in the bar becoming ineffective in at least one direction (compression or tension).The best strut tower braces are the one-piece units manufactured out of thick steel pipe welded together. Any time you place a fastener in the assembly, you will introduce backlash and slop in at least one direction (compression or tension). This means that a stiff connection between the strut towers is vital to proper operation of any strut bar. If they move at all, the shock towers are likely to see movement that would place the strut brace in both compression and tension. In my opinion, the aluminum strut braces are merely window dressing for the engine compartment.I'm also not fond of bars with hinges built-in to the strut mounts.
