Strut Tower Brace Clearance

Is there a strut tower brace that will have the clearance for the Roush R2300 s/c and will not interfere with the closing of the hood ?

Thanks SDF

Well I'm not 100% sure with the Roush charger, but I do know Steeda makes one for the FRPP charger, but I'm sure you have to change the hood as well, unless you want to go through the trouble of dropping the engine mounts, to lower the engine. Like I said though, thats for the FRPP kit, but it may work with the Roush kit as well.
I would suggest to contact a few different vendors like Steeda, American Muscle, Lethal Performance, etc. They will likely know if there is something out there for your application.

Funny you would think Roush would have something considering they build cars too.

Parts guy at woodridge contacted them (roush)and was told there is not enough hood clearance for the strut towers that roush has.

I have heard the GT500 strut bar will fit but it's hit or miss with rubbing the insulation and some have reported it will bow the hood...
Here is a link for the gt500 brace selling on evil bay, it's buy it now for $17.99 well worth the price just to check and see... LINK

Two problems with that one it is only for up to a 2009 gt500 so I don't think it would fit on the 2011 gt. second they don't ship to canada
