Has anyone installed or does anyone know about those rear shock tower braces? Where do they install? Are they worth the effort? Will they work on a convertible?------------------

Looks like a bolt in deal to me.
Convert should not matter.
I don't see why youwould need one unless you plan on doing some serious road racing.
We don't have one in either of our Fox cars.

I installed subframe connectors, a strut tower brace and a lower chassis brace. They really stiffened up the chassis. The car feels more like my Explorer. I was just wondering if it is worth spending $85 on this rear brace.The goal here is to make the car handle like it's on rails. Next is springs, struts and rear control arms. ------------------

I guess that I can see it enhancing the handling characteristics by more stiffening.------------------
