Default strut brace

alright i know their is a suspension section, but the V6 section gets a bit more attention. I was wondering if i could use a sturt tower brace made for the 03 cobra on my V6. the reason i am asking is because i really don't want 3pt one, and would rather just install the two point one that is made for the cobras. I was thinking that it should work, i mean i figure if it fits around that V8 with a supercharger, then it shoudl fit around my little V6. but i was unsure. If any one can shed some light on the subject that would be great. here is the one i am looking at.

Well I think MVSIX does auto x and a strut brace will definately help out with the poor cornering of our cars.

yeah i know it isn't the most meanigful thing, but i figure, the strut brace, combined with, some beefier front and rear sway bars, and some stiffer springs, it could have a decent effect overall. and PColaV6 is right i do, do autox so it should help out with the handeling.

just so it can be confirmed, this is the steeda strut brace from stangsuspension made for the 2003/04 Mach 1. apparently the 03 Cobra one is shaped differntly and interfers with some of the stuff on the front of the motor. But the mach 1 clears fine.
