OK here is where I am at right now. I can make four shock tower braces but there is a problem. I am making the braces large enough to reach up to the shock bolt. What do you think of that? The only real problem with that would be possible water entrapment in the pockets of the shock tower causing rust and the fact that the shock towers are angular and the steel is flat. Were you thinking of only bracing in the bottom of the shock towers? If I were to cut the metal into several pieces it would be easier to fit into place. You will probably need a torch to heat the metal enough to bend it If you want the one piece brace. And if you are heating of hitting anything on your shock tower you might want to weld a temporary brace between them so you don't bend a shock tower. Let me know what you want.
