Strut brace on a Cab?

Does anyone know it the Evolusion Strut/Shock tower brace will work on a 01 Cab? I had these on my 86 Cab and 930 but this 01 looks different around the strut towers.

Thanks,

Mike

What does the strut brace do for a cab? I have my first, and I can't imagine it being any better than it is!

thanks.

front brace does nothing as it mounts very close to the firwall (wich is already trianglated by design). The rear brace will help, but will give a slightly rougher ride.

I believe that Redridge is correct on the front strut brace, and AFAIK, you can't fit a rear brace on a cab. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Soooo is there a possibility to get any rear strut brace on a drop top? Are there any other chassis stiffening options out there for us cab owners besides rollcages? ... I am experiencing a bit of body flex

I dont believe you can put a rear brace on the cab. if you take a look back there, there is all ready aluminum bracing that ties the struts together. I have the evo CF brace on the front of my cab. It was given to me and I put it on when I did my ROW M030 so I can't really say if it made any difference.

Yep... get a coupe
Or a 2012 997 Turbo cab, they've got active motor-mounts which pretty much negates any perceived body flex.
