Front and Rear tower strut/shock brace Quality?

While I also plan on adding the sub-frame connectors, I am thinking of going ahead and placing a order for the tower brace supports for the front and rear of the convertible. Prices are all over the board here when it comes to various manufactures from Steeda to Blue Oval Industries. Of course from the photos they all look equal. Any recommendations on one over the other? Blue Oval is the low dollar clearance special at both front and rear delivered for $210 to my door.

I've heard multiple reviews about blue oval that were not good at all. I only purchased from them once and it was for an emblem that only they had. Steeda is my recommendation.

I can only speak to the quality of Steeda's F/R Shock Tower Braces. I have both and am extremely pleased with them.

Front is 2pt and rear is welded in place.

Well I'll tell ya what. Give me a week or so and I will write a review on the build, quality, fit, installation and end results of the Blue Oval front and rear tower supports. I was looking at them as the seller lowered the price by 5%. Add this to trying to carry on a conversation with the wife, not paying attention when I should have been...well, long story short I ended up ordering them.
I guess they will either be worth the $201 they cost shipped or not. I am kind of in hopes of they will be.

Just pray they arrive as advertised and don't even think about a return. You are better throwing them in the trash than dealing with the owner on any issue.
