Edit: Here are the pics...I actually like this setup better..the GT Spec brace is way more quality than the Ingalls bracket, and I think it looks good too. I had to JUST BARELY increase the length of the ETD to make it work. Was nearly a flawless fit from where the hole was on the Ingalls bracket to the GT strut hole. I have more rotary goodness sound inside the cabin now, and at 7-9k a strong chassis vibration. After a redline, you can really hear the engine "reel" I guess Ill call it, its a very cool sound and very "raw". As for performance..cant say I feel much, my car was pretty tight as is, but Im sure the ETD is doing its job. Preload is set at 11mm.

No, It doesnt. I have gt spec 6 point, and the gt strut bracket is too big to use the Ingalls bracket..you would have to bend the Ingall bracket outward to make it work. I'm installing it right now, so I know. I'm going to attach the ETD directly to gt spec bracket and strut bar assembly.

Beautiful job man!!!
I have heard it work. I dont have that strut bar on my 8 when i had the ingalls so i went with what i heard. Maybe that's what people did.
Regardless good job man!!!

Got mine today. Very...stiff looking. Thanks, Adam. Currently refabbing my strut bar, may be changing the strut tower mounting point, but looks like this will keep the brute under control, especially with the S/C.
