NE1 make a triangulated strut brace?

Hey guys. I've been looking around and reading previous posts regarding strut braces (as well as checking out mags and catalogs) and all I've found so far are straight bar braces. Does anyone make a triangulated 3 pt. bar? While a straight bar generally helps keep the towers in sync, it doesn't do much to keep them from moving together with respect to the chassis. A 3 pt. bar is pretty much bullet proof. Granted, no one would ever see a difference on the street, but I intend to take the car on track.

Thanks!

I believe CHE recently developed a tower strut brace that you are looking for.

Actually, I'm looking for one that triangulates the towers with the firewall. Thanks for the info though...

I've read that the firewall of the S-197 is not engineered as a reinforced structure point - Which is why no one, makes a triangulated one.

I've got the BMR triangulated brace in red powdercoat. Works great, I can definitely notice a difference in the handling. It also looks great since mine is a Torch Red stang!!!
