Lightest strut tower brace?
Who makes the lightest strut tower brace? I want to add as little weight as possible to my front end.

I think it would be a miracle if any of them weigh more than 5 lbs.

I would worry more about the functionality of the brace than the weight.

Yeah, I know it's 95% for looks. But outside of my wheels, it's one of the few pieces of bling I'm putting on my car. It's either that or an engine cover, and the brace has maybe a little bit of functionality to it.

Not the lightest but probably one the best.

I agree with GRYPNY, but I have the Ford Racing brace and it was donated so it stays.
