So i placed my hands on the support brace just over the passenger headlight. Then I pressed down with all my weight (220lbs) on the corner of the car. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE FRONT OF THE TOWER LEAN FORWARD and INWARD. Now this is with the BAR OFF, so anywhoo, the same test done while test fitting the bar, resulted in 0 Strut tower flex.
Thease little mods really do add up at the end.

Replacing motor mounts is not an easy job -- like bolting on a strut-tower brace. This would put a whole "nother" light on this modification.
I thought the whole idea was to reduce the flexing of the strut-towers.

He has an spacer on his manifold, that is why he would need inserts. The spacer raises the manifold enough that if a strut bar were used they would most likely interfere with each other cause of the amount of movement the engine has. MMI's (motor mount inserts) fill the voids in your stock mounts to reduce excessive movement of the engine.
